Cookie Policy
This policy explains what cookies are, how we use them on this website, and how you can manage your preferences.
Last updated: January 12, 2026
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit them. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to site owners.
Cookies can be "first-party" (set by the website you're visiting) or "third-party" (set by other services used on the website). They can also be "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (remain on your device for a set period).
How we use cookies
We use cookies sparingly and only for purposes that help us provide a better experience. We categorise our cookies into two types: essential cookies (required for the website to function) and analytics cookies (to understand how visitors use the site). We do not use cookies for advertising or marketing purposes.
Essential cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly. They cannot be disabled without affecting site functionality.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| cc_cookie | Stores your cookie consent preferences so we don't ask you repeatedly. | 6 months |
Analytics cookies
We use Microsoft Clarity to understand how visitors interact with our website. This helps us identify popular content, improve navigation, and fix usability issues. These cookies are only set if you consent to analytics cookies via the cookie banner.
Microsoft Clarity may record anonymised session replays and heatmaps showing how users interact with pages. This data does not identify you personally.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| _clck | Persists the Clarity User ID and preferences, and links multiple page views by the same user. | 1 year |
| _clsk | Connects multiple page views by a user into a single Clarity session recording. | 1 day |
| CLID | Identifies the first time Clarity saw this user on any site using Clarity. | 1 year |
| ANONCHK | Used to store the session ID for the purposes of user session analytics. | Session |
| MR | Used to collect information for analytics purposes. | 1 week |
| MUID | Identifies unique web browsers visiting Microsoft sites. Used for analytics. | 1 year |
| SM | Used to synchronise the MUID across Microsoft domains. | Session |
For more information about how Microsoft handles data, see Microsoft's Privacy Statement.
What we don't use
We believe in minimal, privacy-respecting data collection. We do not use:
- Marketing or advertising cookies: We don't run ads or track you for advertising purposes.
- Social media tracking pixels: No Facebook Pixel, Twitter tags, or similar trackers.
- Third-party advertising networks: We don't participate in ad networks or sell data to advertisers.
- Cross-site tracking: We don't share your browsing data with other websites.
Managing your cookie preferences
You have several options for controlling cookies:
On this website
- Cookie banner: When you first visit, you can choose to accept all cookies or only essential cookies.
- Cookie settings: Click the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer at any time to change your preferences.
In your browser
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically:

Opt-out tools
You can also opt out of Microsoft Clarity specifically by visiting Microsoft's privacy choices page.
What happens if you disable cookies?
If you disable or decline cookies:
- Essential cookies: Disabling these may prevent parts of the website from functioning correctly (e.g., your cookie preferences won't be remembered).
- Analytics cookies: We simply won't collect analytics data from your visits. The website will continue to work normally.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, for example if we start using new cookies or change analytics providers. The latest version will always be posted on this page with the updated date. Significant changes may be highlighted in the cookie banner.
