Cookie Policy

A cookie is a small text file stored on your device when you visit a website. Cookies allow a site to recognise your device on subsequent visits, remember your preferences, and gather analytical information. Local storage is a similar technology that stores data in your browser without a server round-trip. We refer to both as cookies in this policy for simplicity.

Strictly necessary — required for the site to function, for example to remember your cookie preference itself (`mas-consent-v1` in local storage). These do not require consent and cannot be disabled while you use the site.

Functional — remember choices such as preferred language or display preferences. Set only with your consent.

Analytics — collect aggregated, pseudonymised information about how visitors use the site so that we can improve it. Set only with your consent.

Marketing / advertising — we do not set marketing or advertising cookies. MAS does not run ad networks or share data with third-party advertisers.

On your first visit, a cookie banner allows you to Accept all cookies or to choose Essentials only. Your choice is stored in your browser under the key `mas-consent-v1` so that we do not ask again on every page load.

You may withdraw or change your consent at any time by clearing your browser's storage for this site, or by using your browser's controls to delete or block cookies. Doing so will cause the banner to reappear on your next visit.

Where we use third-party services (for example, a font CDN or a privacy-preserving analytics provider), those providers may set their own cookies under their own privacy and cookie policies. We only engage providers that offer contractual data-protection commitments and, where relevant, EU/UK Standard Contractual Clauses for international transfers.

All major browsers allow you to view, manage and delete cookies. Detailed instructions are available from the support pages of Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari, Brave and others. You may also enable Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control signals; we respect a Global Privacy Control signal as an opt-out of the sale or sharing of personal information (although, as noted, we do not sell or share personal information).

We honour the Global Privacy Control (GPC) browser signal as a request to opt out of any sale or sharing of personal information for purposes of the CCPA / CPRA. We do not currently rely on the legacy Do Not Track header because no consensus standard has emerged for its interpretation, but our default posture is privacy-protective.

We do not use device-fingerprinting techniques to identify visitors across sites or sessions.
