01
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognise your device on subsequent visits, store preferences and gather information about how the site is used. This policy also covers similar technologies such as local storage and the tracking used by our analytics tools.
02
Our consent model
Non-essential cookies are switched off by default. When you first visit, a banner lets you choose Accept all cookies or Necessary cookies only. We use Google Consent Mode, so analytics tools stay disabled until you accept. Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent because the site cannot function without them.
You can change or withdraw your choice at any time:
03
Categories we use
Strictly necessary, required for the website to function: your consent choice and, on password-protected proposal or deck pages, a short-lived sign-in token. Always active.
Analytics (optional, consent-based): Google Analytics 4 and Microsoft Clarity, used to understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it. Clarity also records anonymised session replays and heatmaps of on-page interactions.
We do not use advertising cookies or sell any data for marketing purposes.
