This Cookie Policy is drawn up in accordance with the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003 (PECR) in the United Kingdom, article 5(3) of the "ePrivacy" Directive 2002/58/EC for users established in the European Economic Area, and the guidelines of the competent supervisory authorities.
1. What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file placed on and read from your device (computer, tablet, smartphone) by your browser when using an online service. It allows the service publisher to recognise the device, store certain information between two visits and, where applicable, measure the service's audience. This Policy also covers other trackers (digital fingerprints, pixels, local identifiers, etc.).
2. Categories of trackers
We currently use only one category of trackers. No analytics, advertising or attribution trackers are placed on the site at this time. Should such trackers be introduced in the future, a prior consent mechanism would be implemented in accordance with article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive, and this Policy would be updated accordingly.
- Strictly necessary trackers for the service to function — exempt from consent requirements under article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive: authentication, language preference, display preference (light/dark theme), bot protection on public forms.

4. Consent collection
The trackers currently placed by ZenHost are strictly necessary for the service to function and, as such, are exempt from the prior consent requirement under article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive.
Should consent-based trackers (analytics, advertising, attribution) be introduced in the future, a free, specific, informed and unambiguous consent mechanism (art. 4(11) UK GDPR / EU GDPR) would be implemented, in accordance with the guidelines of the competent supervisory authorities. The user's choice would then be retained for a maximum period of six (6) months and could be changed at any time.
5. Managing via your browser
Most browsers allow you to view, block or delete cookies already placed. The procedure varies between browsers; please refer to the official documentation for Chrome, Firefox, Safari or Edge.
Blocking strictly necessary trackers may prevent certain service features from working correctly.
6. Third-party trackers
Some pages may embed third-party content (videos, booking widgets) that may place their own cookies, under the responsibility of their publisher and in accordance with their own privacy policy. These integrations are activated only after obtaining your consent where required by law.
7. Changes
Unilateral modification. This Cookie Policy may be amended at any time at SPARTAN LABS LLP's sole discretion, in particular to reflect technical developments, the addition or removal of trackers, the arrival or departure of sub-processors, regulatory changes or the recommendations of the competent supervisory authorities.
Effect on publication. Changes take effect upon publication on this page, without any prior individual notice. The "Last updated" date is determinative. In the event that consent-based trackers are introduced, consent will be collected in accordance with article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive.
