Cookie Policy
Last updated: 9 July 2026
Introduction
This page explains what cookies this website uses, why, and how you can manage your choice. The consent banner and "Cookie preferences" control let you accept, reject, or change non-essential cookies at any time; see our Privacy Policy for how the underlying data is processed.
1. What are cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They can be strictly necessary for the site to work, or used — only with your permission — to understand how the site is used.
2. Cookies used on this site
We do not use marketing, advertising, or retargeting cookies on this site.
| Category | Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Consent-choice cookie | seohard (first-party) | Remembers your cookie preference so we don't ask again every visit | 12 months |
| Analytics (only after consent) | _ga | Google LLC (GA4) | Distinguishes unique visitors | 13 months |
| Analytics (only after consent) | _ga_<container-id> | Google LLC (GA4) | Persists session state for GA4 | 13 months |
| Analytics (only after consent) | _gid | Google LLC (GA4) | Distinguishes visitors for the current day | 24 hours |
3. Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are always active because the site cannot function without them — they don't require consent, and there's no toggle to turn them off.
4. Analytics cookies (Google Analytics 4)
We use Google Analytics 4, provided by Google Ireland Limited, to understand aggregate site usage. These cookies are set, and the underlying script loads, only after you actively consent. If you reject or don't respond, Google Analytics does not run.
5. Managing or withdrawing your consent
You can change your cookie choice at any time via the "Cookie preferences" link in the footer of every page. You can also block or delete cookies at any time through your browser's settings.
6. Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy if the cookies we use change.
