What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device — your computer, phone, or tablet — when you visit a website. They are widely used across the internet to make websites work as expected, remember your preferences, and provide useful information to site owners about how their site is being used.
Cookies cannot run programs or deliver viruses. They are simply a way of recognising your browser and storing a small amount of information to improve your experience on a site or help the site function correctly.
How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for several distinct purposes. The four types of cookies that may be in use on our site are described below.
Cookies We Use
Depending on your setup, our site may use some or all of the following cookies. The table below gives a plain-language overview of what each does.
| Cookie | Type | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| WordPress session cookies | Essential | Core site functionality — managing page sessions and, where applicable, secure login. |
| Cookie consent cookie | Remembers the cookie preferences you have set so you are not asked again on every visit. | |
| Google Analytics (if installed) | Analytics | Collects anonymised data about how visitors use the site, including pages visited and time spent. No personally identifiable information is collected. |
This list may be updated as our website evolves. If you would like to know exactly which cookies are currently active on your device, you can view them through your browser's developer tools or a browser extension.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences

Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies may be placed by third-party services that appear on or are embedded within our pages — for example, analytics providers, embedded content, or social media features.
We do not have direct control over these cookies, as they are set and managed by the relevant third party. We recommend reviewing the privacy and cookie policies of any third parties whose content appears on our site for more information about how they use your data.

- Where possible, we configure third-party tools to minimise the data they collect
- You can also manage third-party cookies through your browser settings or a dedicated cookie management tool
