Cookie policy
Last updated 26 May 2026.
What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file your browser stores on your device when you visit a website. Cookies let the site remember things between page loads (like your preference for this very cookie banner) and, in some cases, let third parties measure how the site is used.
This site uses cookies sparingly. Most of what we use is cookieless analytics from Cloudflare, which does not store anything on your device.
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are required for the site to function. They do not need your consent under the PECR Article 5(3) exemption. They do not identify you personally.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration | Set by |
|---|---|---|---|
__cf_bm |
Cloudflare bot management - blocks abusive traffic before it reaches our server | 30 minutes | Cloudflare |
{site.cookieBanner?.storeKey ?? "<site>-cookie-consent"} (localStorage, not a cookie) |
Remembers your choice in this very banner so we don’t ask again | 12 months | This site |
Marketing cookies
This site does not set marketing or advertising cookies by default. The marketing toggle in the cookie banner is reserved for forward-compatibility. If we ever add a marketing tag (for example a Meta Pixel for a paid campaign) we will:
- Update this policy to list the specific cookies it sets
- Bump the policy version in our site configuration
- Re-prompt every returning visitor for fresh consent before any new tag loads
How to change your preferences
You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clicking “Manage cookies” in the footer of any page. This reopens the cookie banner and lets you toggle Analytics on or off, then save.
You can also clear or block cookies through your browser settings. Each browser is slightly different - search “cookies” in your browser’s preferences, or see allaboutcookies.org for plain-English instructions for every major browser.
Our analytics posture
We deliberately use Cloudflare Web Analytics as our primary measurement - it is cookieless, beacon-based, and stores no personal data, so it doesn’t need your consent. We only fall back to Google Analytics when explicit consent is given, and we configure it with IP anonymisation and no advertising signals. We do not use heatmaps, session recording, or third-party retargeting pixels.
