Cookie Policy

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device to remember information about you. They might remember that you're logged in, what language you prefer, or whether you've consented to analytics.

We use cookies, but only the ones we genuinely need. We don't track you across the web, we don't share your browsing data with advertisers, and we don't use cookies to build profiles.

2. What we use cookies for

This website uses two categories of cookies:

• Essential cookies : these make the site work. They're always on.
• Analytics cookies : these help us improve the site. They're optional and only set if you give us permission via our cookie banner.

We do not use marketing, advertising, or social media tracking cookies on this site.

3. Essential cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website to function. They include:

• Session cookies: keep you connected as you navigate the site. Expire when you close your browser.
• Cookie consent record: remembers your choice about cookies, so you don't see the banner every visit. Lasts 12 months.
• Security cookies: help protect against malicious activity.

Under UK PECR (Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations) we don't need your consent to set essential cookies, as they're necessary for you to use the site.

4. Analytics cookies (optional, your choice)

We'd like to set analytics cookies so we can understand how people use the site and improve it. For example:

• Which pages are most read
• How visitors arrive at the site (search, social, direct)
• How long people spend on each page

We use Plausible Analytics, a privacy-friendly tool that doesn't track you across sites, doesn't collect personal information, and doesn't share data with third parties. Plausible is hosted in the EU.

These cookies will only be set if you click "Accept all" on the cookie banner. If you choose "Essential only", no analytics cookies are placed.

5. How to manage your preferences
