Legal Notice
NOTEDWhat changed, in plain language
Nothing meaningful changed in this update. The only differences are the scrambled codes inside two email-protection links — the kind of thing that changes automatically each time the page is served. The wording of the terms, your rights, and the 19 February 2026 update date are all identical.
This change appears to be cosmetic (formatting, typos, or contact details).
Changelog
- ± CHANGEDObfuscated email links refreshed
Two 'contact us' links (one for accessibility feedback, one for concerns about website material) now carry different scrambled codes. These codes hide the email address from spam bots and are re-scrambled each time the page loads, so the actual email addresses and what they are for have not changed.
