What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device when you visit. They are widely used to make websites work correctly and to remember your preferences between visits.

How we use cookies

This website uses only strictly necessary cookies. We do not use advertising cookies, analytics cookies, or any third-party tracking cookies.

Strictly necessary cookies are required for the site to function. They cannot be switched off without breaking core features. No consent is required for these cookies under UK law.

We do not use any of the following:

Google Analytics or similar analytics tools
Meta Pixel or social media tracking
Advertising or retargeting cookies
Performance or A/B testing tools
Any third-party cookies set without your explicit consent

Managing cookies

Because we only use strictly necessary cookies, there is no cookie consent banner on this site — none is required by UK law (UK GDPR / PECR) for cookies that are essential to the operation of the service.

You can still control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, block, or delete cookies at any time. Note that blocking the session cookie will prevent admin login from working.

Changes to this policy

If we introduce new cookies in the future, this page will be updated and the "Last updated" date will change. We will not introduce non-essential cookies without making consent options available.
