Cookies and Storage

We use a minimal cookie to record your consent preferences for GDPR/EEA/UK visitors and to remember your language selection. We also use local storage in your browser to retain your project data while you navigate the site, ensuring your work is not lost during a session. These cookies do not contain personal information and are deleted when you clear your browser data.
