Cookies & storage
Effective and last updated: 2026-09-29
We use necessary storage and optional preference storage. There are no analytics or advertising cookies in this implementation. Optional preference storage stays off until you accept it. Rejecting it does not prevent browsing, using forms or pausing media.

Change your mind
Use Cookie settings in the footer to accept, reject or customise preferences. Rejecting removes the two optional sessionStorage values. Closing the settings dialog makes no change. The choice cookie remembers your decision for 180 days; you can also clear cookies in your browser. If storage is blocked, the site still works but may ask again on a later page.
External services
Fonts are local. Videos in the intro are local files; YouTube and social links open external sites. Stripe’s script is not loaded while you browse. OpenStreetMap tiles are used on the live map; their network requests are described in our Privacy Notice. Other sites apply their own policies after you follow a link.
