Cookie Policy
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember your actions and preferences over a period of time, so you don't have to keep re-entering them whenever you return or browse between pages.
Cookies are not programs — they cannot run code or carry viruses. They simply store small pieces of information that help the site work properly and, in some cases, help us understand how visitors use it.
How we use cookies
Anhysbys uses cookies in two ways: to keep the site functioning correctly, and — with your permission — to understand how visitors find and use the site so we can improve it.
We do not use cookies to build advertising profiles, sell your data, or track you across other websites.

Essential cookies — these are always active and cannot be turned off.

Your choices
When you first visit Anhysbys, a banner will ask for your cookie preferences. You can accept all cookies, accept only essential cookies, or customise your choices by category.
You can change your preferences at any time using the cookie settings button in the footer of any page on this site.
You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling all cookies may affect how the site functions. Most browsers allow you to:
- View and delete cookies stored on your device
- Block third-party cookies
- Block cookies from specific sites
- Block all cookies
- Delete cookies when you close your browser
For guidance on managing cookies in your browser, visit allaboutcookies.org.
Third-party cookies
With the exception of Google Analytics (when consented to), we do not allow third parties to set cookies on our site. We do not embed social media widgets, advertising networks, or other third-party tracking scripts that would set their own cookies.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for legal, regulatory, or operational reasons. When we do, we will update the date at the top of this page. If the changes are significant, we will notify you through the cookie consent banner on your next visit.
