1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help sites work, remember your preferences and understand how the site is used. We also use similar technologies such as local storage. We refer to all of these as "cookies" in this policy.
2. Our approach to consent
In line with the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and UK GDPR, we do not set analytics or marketing cookies until you have given your consent. Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent because they are essential for the website to function. You can accept all, reject all, or choose specific categories, and you can change your choice at any time.
3. Cookies we use
| Cookie / item | Provider | Purpose | Category | Duration |

| _ga, _ga_* | Google Analytics | Measures website usage (IP anonymised) | Analytics (consent) | Up to 2 years |
| _gid | Google Analytics | Distinguishes users | Analytics (consent) | 24 hours |
Analytics cookies are only created after you opt in. If you reject them, they are not set.
4. Managing your preferences
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time using the button below or the "Cookie preferences" link in our website footer.
You can also control cookies through your browser settings, including blocking or deleting them. Note that disabling strictly necessary cookies may stop parts of the site from working.
