What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use them to run the site, keep you signed in, and — only with your consent — to understand how the site is used.
How we categorize them
- Strictly necessary — required for the site and portal to work (security, sessions). These are always on and don't need consent.
- Analytics — optional. They help us see which pages are useful. We only set these after you opt in.
You control optional cookies through the cookie banner shown on your first visit, or any time via the "Cookie preferences" link in the footer. By default, analytics stay off until you accept.
