What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet) when you visit our website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to website owners about how users interact with their sites.

BlueScriptorium uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience, analyse website traffic, personalise content, and deliver relevant advertisements. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.
