What Cookies Are
A cookie is a small text file stored on your device by your web browser when you visit a website. Cookies serve various purposes: some are essential for the site to function, others help operators understand how visitors use their pages. Cookies may be first-party (set by the site you are visiting) or third-party (set by an external service operating on that site). Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device until they expire or until you delete them manually.
Cookies This Site Uses
Essential Cookies
Essential cookies enable basic functions such as page navigation, security features, and session continuity. The site cannot operate correctly without them. These cookies do not collect personal information and are typically session-based, meaning they are removed when you close your browser. Under the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR), essential cookies do not require prior consent.
Analytics Cookies
We may use analytics cookies to gather anonymised data about how visitors interact with this website. This data tells us which pages receive the most traffic, how long visitors spend on a page, which links are followed, and whether visitors encounter errors. Analytics data is aggregated and cannot identify any individual. We use this information solely to improve the structure, accuracy, and usability of our content. Where analytics cookies are classified as non-essential, we obtain consent before setting them as required by PECR.
Font Delivery
This website loads typefaces from Google Fonts. When a page is requested, your browser contacts Google servers to retrieve the font files. Google may set cookies or log request data during this process. This activity is governed by the Google Privacy Policy.
What We Do Not Use
This website does not use advertising cookies, retargeting cookies, social media tracking pixels, or any mechanism that follows your browsing activity across other websites for the purpose of serving personalised advertisements.
