This policy explains what cookies are, how I use them on this website, which types of cookies exist, what information they collect and how you can manage your preferences.

Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet or phone) when you visit a website. They help the website remember your actions and preferences over time, keep it working properly, strengthen security, improve the user experience and allow its performance to be analysed.
