What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. Sitelytc uses them sparingly — only what's needed to run the site securely, plus optional analytics that load only after you consent.
Categories we use
- Strictly necessary — security, session, and consent storage. These cannot be switched off.
- Analytics — help us understand aggregate usage. Loaded only with your consent (Google Consent Mode v2).
- Marketing — not used today. If introduced, they will be consent-gated and listed here first.
