Cookie Policy
Every cookie this site can set, named individually, with its purpose and lifetime. Nothing non-essential loads until you say yes.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website. They let a site remember things between pages and visits — such as whether you have already answered the cookie banner.
2. Our approach
We set no non-essential cookie before you accept. The banner appears on your first visit and your choice is stored for twelve months. You can reopen it at any time using the cookie preferences link in the footer of every page.
3. Categories we use
| Category | Purpose | Typical lifetime |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Records your consent choice and keeps page functions working. Cannot be disabled. | 12 months |
| Analytics | Aggregate measurement of which pages are read and how visitors arrive. | Up to 24 months |
| Advertising | Conversion measurement and frequency capping for campaigns, including Microsoft Advertising. | Up to 13 months |
4. Named cookies
| Name | Set by | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| hrs_consent_v1 | This site (first party, local storage) | Stores whether you chose “essential only” or “accept all” |
| _uetsid / _uetvid | Microsoft Advertising | Session and visitor identifiers used for conversion measurement, set only after consent |
| MUID | Microsoft | Recognises a browser across Microsoft services for analytics and advertising, set only after consent |
5. Withdrawing consent
Choose “essential only” in the banner, or clear cookies and site data in your browser settings. Withdrawal takes effect immediately for future page loads. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may cause the banner to reappear on every visit.
6. Browser controls
Every major browser lets you block or delete cookies from its privacy settings. Doing so affects all websites, not just this one.
7. Third-party opt-outs
Microsoft publishes an advertising opt-out in its own privacy dashboard. Industry-wide opt-out tools are also available from the Digital Advertising Alliance and the Network Advertising Initiative.
8. Changes
If we add or remove a cookie, this page is updated and the effective date changed. Where the change is material, the banner is shown again so you can re-decide.
