What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that a website saves to your device when you visit. They are widely used to make sites work as intended, to remember your preferences, and to give the people who run a site some sense of how it is being used.
They do not give us access to your device and they do not identify you by name. Most are temporary — they clear when you close your browser. Others remain for a set period to carry a preference or setting across visits. You are always in control and can adjust or remove them at any time.
Cookies We Use
We keep our cookie use limited. The categories below cover everything we currently set or allow on this site.
Essential Cookies
Always activeThese are necessary for the site to function. They handle things like storing your cookie preferences and maintaining a consistent browsing session. Without them, parts of the site would not work properly.
Examples: cookie_consent, session_id · Duration: session or up to 12 months
Analytics Cookies
These help us understand how visitors find and use the site — which pages are visited most often, where people arrive from, and where they leave. All data is anonymised before we see it. We use this to improve the site over time.
Provider: Google Analytics (anonymised IP) · Duration: up to 2 years
Marketing Cookies
These may be set by advertising partners to build a profile of your interests and show relevant content on other sites. We do not rely on these for the core of our work, and declining them has no effect on this site's content.
Providers: ad networks (where applicable) · Duration: up to 1 year
Preference Cookies
These remember choices you make — such as display settings or region — so you do not need to re-select them on each visit. They help make the experience feel more consistent without requiring you to log in.
Examples: language, region, display settings · Duration: up to 1 year
Your Cookie Preferences
Use the toggles above to choose which optional cookies you are comfortable with, then save your selection. Your choice will be remembered for twelve months. Essential cookies cannot be disabled as they are needed for the site to work.
Your preferences have been saved.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on this site are set by third-party services rather than by us directly. These include:
- Google Analytics: Anonymised usage data to understand how visitors navigate the site. Google's data processing is governed by Google's own privacy terms.
- Google Maps: If an embedded map is displayed, Google may set cookies related to that content.
- Advertising networks: Where marketing cookies are enabled, third-party ad networks may set their own cookies to build anonymised interest profiles.
We do not have full control over third-party cookies. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of those services if you have further questions.
Cookie Duration
Cookies either last for your current browsing session or persist for a set period:
- Session cookies: These are removed automatically when you close your browser. They are used for things like carrying a page state during your visit.
- Persistent cookies: These remain on your device until their expiry date or until you delete them. Typical durations on this site range from 30 days to 2 years, depending on the cookie's purpose.
