What cookies and storage this website uses, and how you can control them.

What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files a website saves in your browser. Local storage works in a similar way, keeping small pieces of information on your device. Some are needed for a site to work; others help the site owner understand how the site is used.
How we use them
When you first visit, we store only your cookie choice. No analytics or tracking runs unless you click Accept. If you click Reject, the site stays completely free of tracking.
If you accept, we use Microsoft Clarity to see how visitors use the site, for example which pages are most useful and where people get stuck, so we can improve it. Clarity is set up with advertising storage turned off.
