What Are Cookies?

Cookies can be "session cookies" (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent cookies" (remain on your device for a set period).

- ✗Advertising or targeting cookies
- ✗Third-party analytics cookies (e.g. Google Analytics)
- ✗Social media tracking cookies
- ✗Performance profiling cookies

| _gh_sess | GitHub (Giscus) | GitHub authentication session — only set if you log in to leave a comment | Session |

Do We Need Your Consent?
Under UK PECR (Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations) and the EU ePrivacy Directive, consent is only required for non-essential cookies. Because we use only essential cookies that are strictly necessary to provide the service you request, we are not required to obtain cookie consent or display a cookie banner.
If we add any non-essential cookies in future (for example, analytics), we will update this policy and implement an appropriate consent mechanism before setting those cookies.
Managing Cookies
You can control and manage cookies in your browser settings. Note that disabling essential cookies may prevent some parts of the website from functioning correctly.
