Cookie Policy.

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, pixels, tags, and software development kits. Together we refer to them as “cookies.”

First-party cookies are set by this website. Third-party cookies are set by a provider we engage. Session cookies expire when you close your browser; persistent cookies remain until they expire or you delete them.

Consistent with the confidentiality of our practice, we keep cookie use deliberately minimal. We do not use advertising, retargeting, cross-site tracking, data-broker, or profile-building cookies, and we do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

These enable core functions such as page delivery, routing, load balancing, session integrity, form submission, and protection against fraud and abuse. They do not track you across sites and cannot be switched off through this website, because the site cannot function properly without them.

Typical duration: session to twelve months. Lawful basis: our legitimate interest in operating a secure, functional website; consent is not required for strictly necessary cookies.

Where used, these remember choices such as consent selections or interface preferences so you are not asked repeatedly. They store only the minimum necessary and are not used to build a profile.

Typical duration: up to twelve months. Lawful basis: consent, or legitimate interest where the cookie merely records your own stated choice.

Where enabled, analytics cookies help us understand aggregate usage — pages viewed, referral source, approximate region, device class, and errors encountered — so we can improve clarity, performance, and reliability. We configure analytics to minimize data, and we do not use analytics data to identify individual visitors or to target advertising.

Typical duration: up to thirteen months. Lawful basis: consent where required by applicable law; otherwise our legitimate interest in maintaining and improving the website.

Our hosting, content delivery, security, and email providers may set strictly necessary technologies to route traffic, mitigate attacks, and deliver correspondence reliably. These providers act under contracts that restrict their use of information to providing services to us.

We do not control cookies set by external websites you reach through links from this site. Their practices are governed by their own policies, and we accept no responsibility or liability for them.

Where a consent banner is presented, you may accept or refuse non-essential cookies and change your selection at any time. Refusing non-essential cookies does not prevent you from using the website or contacting the private office.

You can also manage cookies in your browser: block all or third-party cookies, delete existing cookies, browse privately, or enable a Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control signal. We honor Global Privacy Control signals where applicable law requires. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may impair site functionality, including form submission.

Browser controls are found in the privacy or security settings of Chrome, Safari, Edge, Firefox, and other browsers. Because controls are device- and browser-specific, adjust them on every device and browser you use.

Cookies may involve IP address, device and browser characteristics, pages and events viewed, timestamps, referral source, and consent state. This information is handled as described in our Privacy Policy, including its provisions on retention, disclosure, security, international transfers, and your rights.

We may update this Policy as our technologies or legal obligations change. The effective date above will be revised and material changes will be signaled on this page. Continued use of the website after an update constitutes acceptance of the updated Policy.
