1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser. Similar technologies include local storage, pixels and tags. We refer to all of them as "cookies" in this policy. Some are set by us ("first-party"), and some are set by other companies, such as Google ("third-party").
2. How we use cookies
We keep our use of cookies to a minimum. We use them for two purposes:
- Strictly necessary: to remember your cookie choice and keep the Site working. These cannot be switched off.
- Advertising and measurement: to understand which Google Ads lead to visits, WhatsApp inquiries and purchases, and, where permitted, to show our ads to people who previously visited the Site. These are optional.
We do not use cookies to collect sensitive information, and we do not use social-media tracking pixels.
We also keep simple visit totals (page, referring site or campaign, country and device type) with our own counter. It does not use cookies or similar storage on your device and does not record your IP address, so it is not affected by your cookie choice.

Google may change the names or durations of its cookies. For current information, see Google's list of advertising cookies.
4. Google Consent Mode
We use Google Consent Mode to respect your choice. When optional cookies are declined, Google tags do not read or write advertising cookies. Google may still receive limited, cookieless signals (such as the fact that a page was visited) to model conversions in aggregate without identifying you.
- Visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland: optional cookies are off by default and are used only if you select Accept.
- Visitors elsewhere, including the United States: optional cookies are on by default, and you can turn them off at any time by selecting Decline.
- Browsers sending a Global Privacy Control signal are treated as having declined.
5. Managing your choices
- Use (also linked in the footer of every page) to accept or decline optional cookies.
- Manage Google ad personalization at adssettings.google.com.
- Block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary storage may mean the cookie banner reappears on each visit.
6. Changes to this policy
We will update this policy if we change the cookies we use, and we will revise the "Last updated" date above.
