1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small data files placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently and to provide reporting information.
- First-party cookies are set by us.

No Analytics Cookies
We use Independent Analytics to understand how our Website is used. This tool does not set cookies or store any personal data — it generates a one-way, non-reversible hashed identifier from technical request data, processed and stored entirely on our own server. No information is shared with any third party. No consent is required for this analytics tool, as no cookie or similar technology is placed on your device.
Self-Hosted and CDN-Delivered Video
Some videos on our Website are served directly from our own media library or via Bunny CDN, our third-party content delivery provider. These videos play as native files and do not load any third-party player, tracking script, or cookie. No consent is required for this content.
Third-Party Embedded Video (YouTube)
Some videos are embedded using YouTube’s privacy-enhanced player (youtube-nocookie.com), which significantly limits tracking compared to a standard YouTube embed. However, once you press play, YouTube may still set a small number of cookies necessary to operate the player.
- Third Party: YouTube
- Purpose: Play embedded video content
- Duration: Varies (set by YouTube)
- Consent Required: Only upon interacting with the video player (click-to-play)
4. Consent and Choices
No Consent Banner for General Browsing
Because we do not use cookie-based analytics, tracking, or advertising technologies for general site browsing, no consent banner is shown when you first visit our Website.
YouTube Video Player Consent
Where a YouTube video is embedded on a page, no cookies are set until you actively press play. By choosing to play the video, you consent to YouTube’s use of cookies as described in YouTube’s own Privacy Policy. If you do not wish to accept this, please do not play the embedded video.
Managing Cookies via Your Browser
You can set or amend your web browser controls at any time to accept, block, or delete cookies, including the strictly necessary cookies listed above (note: blocking these may affect login functionality).
5. Third-Party Content
Some pages on our Website include embedded YouTube video content, using YouTube’s privacy-enhanced (youtube-nocookie.com) player. When you interact with this embedded content (e.g., by pressing play), it behaves as if you have visited YouTube directly, and YouTube may collect data, set cookies, and monitor your interaction with the video player in accordance with their own privacy practices.
We encourage you to review YouTube’s Privacy Policy for more information on how they handle your data.
6. Data Protection
