Cookie Policy
How we use cookies on this website
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device. Some tools also use small pieces of code (scripts) or your browser's local storage, which work in a similar way. This policy covers all of these, and for simplicity we call them all cookies. It applies to everyone who visits our website.
We use only two kinds: strictly necessary cookies, which keep the site working, and analytics cookies, which help us improve it. We do not use marketing or advertising cookies, and we do not embed social media content that places cookies.
Your choice
When you first visit our website, we ask whether you accept analytics cookies. We do not place them unless you click Accept. You can change your mind at any time by clicking "Cookie settings" at the bottom of this page.
Strictly necessary cookies do not need your consent, because the website cannot work properly without them. If you delete your cookies, we will ask for your choice again on your next visit.

What these tools record
Google Analytics tells us how many people visit, which pages they view and how they found us. Microsoft Clarity shows us how visitors use our pages, such as where they click and scroll, so we can make the site easier to use. Clarity masks text you type into forms. Neither tool tells us who you are.
Google and Microsoft may process this data in the United States. You can read their policies here:
