2. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They may be placed directly by LSHPC (“first-party cookies”) or by selected partners (“third-party cookies”). Some cookies are strictly necessary to deliver the service you request; others are optional and require your prior consent.
3. Cookies used on this site
- Necessary cookies (always active) – Enable core functions such as page navigation, language selection and security. They do not store personally identifiable information and do not require consent.
- Analytics cookies (optional) – Help us understand how visitors interact with the site in aggregate form (page views, time on page, navigation paths). They are disabled by default.
- Marketing cookies (optional) – Allow us to personalise communications or enable remarketing campaigns. They are disabled by default.
At the time of writing no third-party analytics or marketing scripts are loaded before you provide consent. If and when new partners are activated, this policy will be updated and the consent banner will prompt you again.
4. Managing your preferences
- On your first visit you are asked to choose whether to allow optional cookies via the cookie banner.
- You can modify your choices at any time by clicking “Cookie settings” in the footer or reopening the banner.
- Your consent is stored in the browser’s local storage together with the version of this policy. If we make material changes, we will request your preferences again.
Blocking optional cookies may affect the accuracy of analytics reports or the relevance of marketing communications, but the website will remain fully accessible.
5. Third-party services

Whenever possible we enable privacy-enhancing features offered by these providers (anonymisation, IP masking, limited retention). Links to their policies will be included before activation.
