Cookie policy

What a cookie is

A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your device. Some are needed for the site to function. Others are used to understand how the site is being used. The same rules apply to similar technologies such as pixels and local storage, and everything on this page covers those too.

Our position, stated plainly
Analytics cookies are not essential to delivering this website. They help us, not you. So we do not set them unless you tell us we can.When you first visit, you will see a banner with two equally prominent choices: accept or reject. Rejecting is one click, exactly like accepting. Nothing is pre-ticked. If you reject, we will not set analytics cookies, and the site will work normally.

What we use

Strictly necessary cookies are set automatically, because the site cannot work without them. These cover the spam protection on our contact form, provided by Cloudflare, and remembering the cookie choice you made, which is why we do not ask you again on every page. Under UK law these do not require your consent, but we are telling you about them anyway.

Analytics cookies are set by Google Analytics, and only if you accept them. They tell us which pages people read, how visitors find us, and where they leave. We use this to improve the site. They are not used to advertise to you, and we do not share the data with advertisers.

We do not use advertising or tracking cookies. If that changes, this page will change first and you will be asked again.

The current cookie list

The table below is generated automatically and updates whenever our cookies change, so it always reflects what the site is actually doing rather than what we last remembered to write down.

Changing your choice

You can change or withdraw your consent at any time. It is as easy to withdraw as it was to give.

You can also control cookies through your browser settings, including deleting cookies already stored and blocking future ones. Every major browser offers this under its privacy or security settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop parts of the site working.

Who processes this data

Analytics cookies are operated by Google. Our consent banner and the record of your choice are operated by Cookiebot (Usercentrics A/S). Full detail on both, including where data is transferred and what rights you have, is in our Privacy Notice.
