Cookie Policy

How cookies are used and how you can control them.

Last updated: 30 July 2026

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files placed on a device when a website is visited. They can support essential functions, remember choices or help a website owner understand how a site is used. Similar browser storage technologies may work in a comparable way.

The rules that apply

Under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR), cookies that are not strictly necessary generally require consent. Where cookie information relates to an identifiable person, the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018 also apply.

Categories used on this website

Necessary

Necessary cookies support essential functions and remember your CookieConsent choice. They are always enabled because the cookie preference service cannot work correctly without them.

Analytics

Analytics cookies are optional and disabled by default. Google Analytics 4 is loaded only after you explicitly consent to Analytics. If you reject Analytics, the Google Analytics script does not load and Analytics cookies are not intentionally set by this website.

Changing or withdrawing consent

You can reopen the preference panel at any time by selecting Cookie Preferences in the footer. You can then accept Analytics, reject Analytics or save a different selection. It should be as easy to withdraw consent as it was to give it.

You can also delete cookies through your browser settings. Doing so may cause the consent banner to appear again.

Google Analytics 4

The website uses Google Analytics 4 with measurement ID G-WKM19C6LFM. The script is inserted dynamically only after Analytics consent. Google Analytics may receive website usage, device, browser and approximate location information. For more detail, see the Privacy Policy.

Updates

This Cookie Policy and the cookie table will be reviewed when the website or its services change. A technical cookie audit should also be carried out periodically because third-party cookie names and durations can change.
