3. Essential & Optional Cookies
We categorise cookies into two groups:
- Essential cookies — required to keep the app running (authentication, locale preference, checkout). These cannot be refused without breaking core functionality.
- Analytics cookies — help us understand how the app is used (Google Analytics with anonymised IP). These are only loaded after you consent.
We do not use advertising, retargeting, social media tracking, or behavioural profiling cookies.
When you first visit the site, a consent banner lets you choose between “Accept All” (enables analytics) or “Necessary Only”. You can change your preference at any time by clearing your browser's local storage for this site.
