Legal Notice
NOTEDWhat changed, in plain language
Nothing of substance changed. Only two obfuscated email-protection links were re-encoded — the accessibility contact and the queries contact. The wording, your rights, and the last-updated date (19 February 2026) are all identical.
This change appears to be cosmetic (formatting, typos, or contact details).
Changelog
- ± CHANGEDAccessibility contact link re-encoded
The scrambled code in the accessibility email link changed. This is just the website's spam-protection scrambling being regenerated — the contact itself and the surrounding text are unchanged.
