Cookies & Tracking
Our website uses cookies — small text files stored on your device — to understand how visitors use the site. We use:
- Essential cookies — required for the website to function correctly (e.g., form security tokens).
- Analytics cookies — to understand traffic patterns and improve the site. We use Google Analytics, which collects anonymised data about your visit.
- Marketing pixels — if you visit via a paid advertisement, advertising platforms (Meta, Google) may set tracking pixels to measure campaign performance.
You can control cookie behaviour through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect site functionality. Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies, delete existing cookies, or be notified when a new cookie is set.
Third-Party Services
We use a small number of trusted third-party services to operate our website and business:
- Hostinger — website hosting. Your data may pass through their servers in accordance with their privacy policy.
- Google Analytics — website analytics. Data is anonymised and governed by Google's privacy policy.
- Meta & Google Ads — advertising platforms. If you arrived via a paid ad, these platforms may have set tracking cookies per their own policies.
- Email service providers — we may use a third-party email tool to manage communications. We only share your email address with such a provider as needed to contact you.
We do not share your personal information with third parties for their own marketing purposes.

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law.
