Following the 2026 UK reforms, our cookie policy is simplified:

Strictly Necessary Cookies: Essential for website security and core functionality. These do not
require consent.

Analytics and Preference Cookies: Per the DUAA 2025, we no longer require prior consent for
cookies used solely for web analytics or to adapt the website appearance to Your preferences.

​

Marketing Cookies: Explicit consent is still required for tracking used for direct marketing or third-
party advertising.

​

4. Your Rights as a Data Subject

5. Children's Privacy

We comply with the "Children’s Higher Protection Matters" duty. Our Service does not address
anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children without parental consent,
and we maintain high-privacy settings by default for all users.

​

6. International Transfers
