Cookie Policy

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files a website stores on your device to make it work properly, remember your preferences, and understand how the site is used. Some are essential; others are optional and only set with your consent. This is standard practice across the web, described in guidance from bodies like the ICO and the FTC.^[1]

The cookies we use

We keep the list short and group cookies by what they do:

• Essential — needed for the site to function: security, load balancing and remembering basic settings. These cannot be switched off without breaking the site.
• Analytics — Google Analytics, so we can see which pages get used and fix what does not work. Set only with your consent.^[2]
• Advertising — Google Ads and Meta tools, so we can measure and improve our own campaigns. Set only with your consent.^[3]

See our privacy policy for more on how any information these tools collect is used.

How to control them

Most browsers let you see, delete and block cookies from your browser settings, and you can set your browser to warn you before a cookie is stored. Blocking essential cookies may stop parts of the site working correctly.

You can also opt out of personalized ads directly through Google Ads Settings or Meta's ad preferences.

Changes

We may update this cookie policy from time to time as our tools or the law change; the "last updated" date above shows when. Please check back periodically.
