  • Information collected automatically – such as IP address, browser type, device identifiers, pages visited, timestamps and cookie IDs.

We rely on your consent, our legitimate interest in operating and securing the Site, or compliance with a legal obligation, depending on the context.

4. Cookies

The Site uses first-party and selected third-party cookies (for example Google Analytics) to remember preferences and measure performance. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, but some features may then function less effectively.

5. Data storage and security

Personal data is stored on secure servers located in the EU, UK or United States. We employ encryption, access controls and regular security reviews, but no internet transmission is ever completely secure.

If personal data is transferred outside your jurisdiction, we ensure adequate safeguards—such as Standard Contractual Clauses—are in place.

We keep personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described above or to comply with legal requirements, after which it is securely deleted or anonymised.
