Legal Notice
NOTEDWhat changed, in plain language
Nothing meaningful changed. The only differences are the scrambled email-protection codes in two contact links, which the website regenerates automatically. The wording, rules, and the "Updated: 19 February 2026" date are all identical.
This change appears to be cosmetic (formatting, typos, or contact details).
Changelog
- ± CHANGEDContact link codes regenerated
The two hidden email addresses (accessibility feedback and website queries) are protected by a scrambling system that produces a new code each time the page is served. The codes changed, but the addresses behind them did not.
