Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to the website operator. Cookies may be first-party (set by this website) or third-party (set by external services we use).

2. How We Use Cookies and Google Consent Mode v2

We implement Google Consent Mode v2 on this website. This means that when you first visit the site, all non-essential cookies are denied by default. Specifically, the following consent signals are set to denied until you actively choose to accept:

  • ad_storage - controls storage for advertising
  • ad_user_data - controls sending of user data to Google for advertising
  • ad_personalization - controls personalised advertising
  • analytics_storage - controls storage for analytics

functionality_storage and security_storage remain granted at all times as they are strictly necessary for the site to function and for fraud prevention.

When you click Accept All on our cookie banner, all four consent signals are updated to granted. When you click Reject Non-Essential, they remain denied. Your choice is stored in localStorage under the key cookieConsent and applied automatically on subsequent visits.
