Understanding Cookies & Similar Technologies
Essential & Preference Storage
The site keeps your cookie choice, any Security Centre checklist answers you save and whether you hid the header price in your own browser (local storage). None of it is sent anywhere. If you choose a currency on the market dashboard, one cookie remembers it.
Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information about how the site is used. They are optional and set only after you accept analytics. This helps us improve the site's structure and content.

Your Cookie Preferences
Cookie Banner and Cookie Settings
When you first visit, a banner asks whether you accept optional analytics. You can choose Accept analytics or Decline, and the site works either way. Until you choose, and if you decline, Google Analytics and HubSpot do not load and no analytics cookie is set.
To change your choice, use Cookie settings at the foot of any page. If you decline after accepting, we withdraw your consent, delete the analytics cookies from your browser and reload the page.
Withdrawing Consent
Withdrawing stops new collection. Information already sent to Google or HubSpot stays under their retention and ours; contact us to ask for it to be deleted.
Browser Settings
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can set your browser to refuse cookies, delete cookies, or alert you when cookies are being sent. Blocking cookies won't stop the site working; some choices, like your currency, won't be remembered.
