Analytics: Microsoft Clarity
If you accept, we use Microsoft Clarity to understand how people use our website: where they click, how far they scroll and where they get stuck. Clarity builds heatmaps and replays of visits so we can fix confusing pages. It hides what you type into forms, and we never use it to identify you or to show you ads.
Clarity is run by Microsoft, which processes this data on our behalf. See the Microsoft privacy statement for how Microsoft handles it. Clarity does not load at all until you accept.

Changing your choice
You can change your mind at any time from , also linked in the footer of every page. If you withdraw consent, Clarity stops and its cookies are removed. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings; the site will still work, though you may need to sign in to the portal again.
