5. PECR compliance

Under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR), cookies that are strictly necessary for the service to function do not require consent. Our single session cookie falls into this category: without it, you cannot log in or use the service.

We display an informational cookie notice on first visit. This is for transparency, not because consent is required.
