What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies (pixels, local storage, SDKs) work in comparable ways. We refer to all of these as "cookies" here.
How we use cookies
We use cookies to run the site and, where you consent, to understand how it is used. We group them as follows.
Strictly necessary. Required for the site to function (security, load balancing, remembering your cookie choices). These do not need consent.
Analytics / performance. Help us understand traffic and improve the site. Set only with your consent. We use Google Analytics for this.
We also use Ahrefs Analytics, a cookieless measurement tool. It sets no cookies and stores nothing on your device, so it runs without consent and does not appear in the table below.

We set non-necessary cookies only after you consent through the banner. We record your choice and ask again after a reasonable period or if our cookie use changes materially.
