Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website. They allow the website to remember information about your visit — such as your login state, language preference, or choices you have made — to improve your experience on subsequent visits.
Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and pixel tags. This policy covers all such technologies.
Under UK PECR and the EU ePrivacy Directive, we must obtain your consent before setting non-essential cookies. The cookie banner that appears on your first visit asks for this consent. You may change your preferences at any time using the Cookie Settings link in the footer, the button at the top of this page, or by adjusting your browser settings.
Essential cookies do not require consent as they are strictly necessary for the website to function. All other cookies require your informed consent before being set.
These cookies are essential for the website to operate and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are set in response to your actions such as logging in or filling in forms.

These cookies enable additional functionality and personalisation. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we use on our pages. If you disable these, some features may not work correctly.

We currently do not use any third-party analytics or tracking cookies (e.g. Google Analytics, Hotjar). All usage metrics we collect are aggregated server-side from our own access logs and do not use browser-side tracking technologies.
If we introduce analytics cookies in future, we will update this policy and obtain your explicit consent before doing so.
We do not use any marketing, retargeting, or advertising cookies. We do not share data with advertising networks or social media platforms for tracking purposes.
Our website loads the following third-party resources that may set their own cookies:
| Third party | Resource | Purpose | Their cookie policy |
|---|---|---|---|
| jsDelivr CDN | Bootstrap CSS/JS, Bootstrap Icons, Sortable.js | Serving static assets. jsDelivr may set a CDN performance cookie. | jsDelivr Privacy Policy |
| Stripe | Payment processing (checkout pages only) | Fraud prevention and payment processing | Stripe Privacy Policy |
We have no control over cookies set by these third parties. Please refer to their privacy policies for information about how they use cookies.
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling essential cookies will prevent you from logging in and using core features of the Service.
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. We currently respond to DNT signals by not setting any non-essential cookies. This does not affect essential session cookies required for login.
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, where changes are material, display a notice on the website.
