This Cookie Policy explains how we (an individual operator running this Service, not a company) use cookies and similar technologies on our website.

1. What are cookies

Cookies are small files stored on your device. We also use similar technologies (local storage, pixels) for the purposes below.

2. Categories we use

Where consent is required, we show a consent banner; non-essential cookies (analytics/functional) are not set until you consent, and you can withdraw consent at any time via the cookie settings link in the footer. You can also block cookies in your browser, though strictly necessary cookies are needed for the site to work.
