1. What cookies are
Cookies are small files a website stores in your browser. Browser storage (local and session storage) works in a similar way. We use as few as we can, and list every one below.

3. Your choice
Essential cookies are needed for the site to work, so they are always on. Analytics and advertising cookies are optional: until you choose “Accept all”, Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity and Google AdSense do not load at all, so no request goes to them and none of their cookies are set. With “Essential only” they never load. If you later change your choice back, they stop sending anything. Either way, the rest of the site works exactly the same.
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings, and manage Google's ad personalisation at adssettings.google.com. Blocking essential cookies will sign you out.
