What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored in your browser. They are used to make websites work, remember your choices and — in some cases — display personalised ads. We also use similar technologies such as localStorage, which are treated under the same rules.
Categories we use
- Necessary — required for login, age verification and core functionality. Cannot be disabled.
- Advertising — used by Google AdSense to show relevant ads and measure effectiveness. Only set after your consent.
- Analytics — Google Analytics (GA4) with anonymised IP. Only set after your consent.
