What we use cookies for

  • Essential: security, session handling, core functionality.
  • Analytics: understanding traffic and performance (e.g., Google Analytics).

About analytics

Analytics helps us understand which pages work and which pages need improvement. It’s not there to stalk you — it’s there to stop us building the wrong stuff.
