Legal Notice
NOTEDWhat changed, in plain language
Nothing in this legal notice actually changed. The only differences are the scrambled codes in two "contact us" email links, which Cloudflare re-generates each time the page loads to hide addresses from spam bots. The wording, your rights, and the "Updated: 19 February 2026" date are all the same.
This change appears to be cosmetic (formatting, typos, or contact details).
Changelog
- ± CHANGEDAccessibility contact email link code changed
The link for sending accessibility feedback now has a different scrambled code. This is just the website's spam-protection system re-encoding the same email address — the address itself and what it's for did not change.

- ± CHANGEDQueries contact email link code changed
The link for raising concerns about website material also has a new scrambled code, for the same spam-protection reason. The way to report a concern is unchanged.
