Cookies

Last updated: March 2026

This page explains what cookies are, which cookies this site sets, and how you can control them.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored in your browser when you visit a website. They are used to remember preferences, keep you signed in, and understand how visitors use the site.

Cookies I set

Strictly necessary

This site sets a small number of strictly necessary cookies to keep it working correctly:

• Authentication: A secure session cookie is set when an authorised user signs in. This cookie is not set for regular visitors and expires when the session ends or after 30 days.
• Cookie preference: Your response to the cookie consent banner is saved in your browser's localStorage so the banner does not reappear on future visits. This is not a cookie — no data is sent to our servers.

Strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled as they are required for the site to function.

Analytics cookies (optional)

If you allow analytics in the cookie banner or preferences, this site loads Google Analytics (GA4) to understand how visitors use the site (for example page views and events). These cookies are not set until you opt in.

Marketing / advertising (optional)

If you allow marketing cookies, Google Ads measurement tags may load to help measure ad effectiveness. These are not loaded unless you opt in to marketing.

How to opt out

When you first visit the site, a banner lets you Accept all, Reject all, or Manage preferences for optional cookies. Your choice is saved in your browser's localStorage.

You can change or withdraw consent anytime via Cookie preferences in the site footer (or the legal bar on this page).

You can also disable all cookies via your browser settings. Note that this may affect the functionality of some sites you visit.
