1. Overview
Cookies are small files stored on your device. We and our providers use cookies and similar technologies (local storage, pixels) to keep you signed in, remember preferences, secure the Services and understand usage. Our use of non-essential cookies is governed by the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) 2003 and the EU ePrivacy Directive, read together with the UK/EU GDPR. We set non-essential cookies only after you consent.
2. Categories we use
| Category | Purpose | Consent needed? |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Authentication, session integrity, security, load balancing | No (exempt) |
| Functional | Remembering preferences such as selected model or theme | Yes |
| Analytics / performance | Aggregated, privacy-respecting usage and reliability metrics | Yes |
| Marketing | Only if enabled — measuring campaigns; off by default | Yes |
3. Managing your consent
When you first visit, a consent banner lets you accept or reject non-essential categories. You can change your choice at any time by reopening cookie settings from the banner control, and you can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings — though strictly-necessary cookies are required for the Services to work. Your preference is remembered for up to 12 months, after which we ask again.
4. Third-party providers
Where enabled, some cookies are set by providers acting on our behalf (for example privacy-configured analytics, our payment processor for secure checkout, and content-delivery/hosting for reliability). These providers are bound by data-processing terms and may only use the data for the purposes we specify. We do not permit them to use it to build independent advertising profiles of you.
5. Do Not Track & global signals
Where your browser sends a recognised opt-out signal for non-essential tracking, we honour it as a rejection of non-essential cookies.
