We do not use advertising cookies. With your consent, we use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site. This page explains what is stored in your browser when you visit, and how to remove it.
What a cookie is
A cookie is a small text file placed on your device by a website. Cookies let sites remember information between page loads. Not all browser storage is a cookie: this site also uses localStorage, a similar mechanism that stores data only on your device and is never sent to a server.
Storage this site uses
We store one item in your browser's localStorage, and if you consent, Google Analytics sets cookies on your device:
| Name | Type | Purpose | Expires |
|---|---|---|---|
| cll_cookie_consent | localStorage | Remembers whether you accepted or declined non-essential cookies, so the banner does not appear on every visit. | Until you clear site data |
| _ga | Cookie (analytics) | Set by Google Analytics. Distinguishes unique visitors so we can count how many people visit the site. Only set if you click “Accept all”. | 2 years |
| _ga_* | Cookie (analytics) | Set by Google Analytics. Stores session state for this property. Only set if you click “Accept all”. | 2 years |
The cll_cookie_consent item is technically necessary for the consent mechanism to work. The analytics cookies are optional — they are only set when you choose “Accept all”.
Third-party content
With your consent, this site loads Google Analytics, operated by Google Ireland Limited. Google Analytics helps us understand how visitors navigate the site (pages visited, time on site, broad geographic region). No advertising profiles are built from this data. Google's privacy policy is at policies.google.com/privacy.
Some images on this site are loaded from images.pexels.com, operated by Canva. When your browser fetches an image it sends a standard HTTP request to Pexels' CDN. Pexels may log this request and set cookies in accordance with their own privacy policy at pexels.com/privacy-policy.
There are no social media widgets or advertising networks on this site. No Facebook pixels or similar advertising tracking technologies are loaded.
Your choices
On your first visit, a banner lets you accept all cookies or allow only necessary storage. You can change this at any time by clearing site data for this domain in your browser settings.
In most browsers: Settings → Privacy → Clear browsing data → Cookies and site data. You can clear this site only or clear all.
You can also block third-party cookies or restrict all cookies using your browser settings. This site will continue to work if you do.
Legal basis
This site operates in the United Kingdom. Our use of cookies and browser storage is governed by the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR) and the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR).
The cll_cookie_consent localStorage item is set on the basis of legitimate interests: it is technically necessary to record the preference you expressed. Google Analytics cookies are set only with your consent (PECR regulation 6). You can withdraw consent at any time by clearing site data for this domain in your browser settings.
Changes to this policy
If we add analytics or other cookies in future we will update this page and display the consent banner again. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last changed.
