Cookie policy
This page explains which cookies this site sets, what each one is for, and how you can control them.
This text is a starting framework and must be reviewed and completed by legal counsel before final publication.
What cookies are
A cookie is a small piece of text a website stores in your browser so it can recognise you on your next request. Without them you would be signed out on every page and your language choice would be forgotten.
The cookies we use
This site sets two cookies, both of its own:
session — keeps you signed in
Set when you sign in. It is signed and encrypted, cannot be read by scripts on the page, and expires after 7 days or when you sign out.
locale — remembers your language
Set when you choose a language, or the first time we send you to a language version of the site. It lasts one year and holds only the language code.
What we do not use
We do not use advertising or tracking cookies, and this site sets no third-party analytics or social-media cookies.
Managing cookies
Every browser lets you view, block and delete cookies, usually under Privacy or Site data in its settings. If you block the session cookie you cannot stay signed in; if you block the locale cookie your language choice is not remembered between visits. Everything else works as normal.
Questions
