What cookies we use, why, and how you can control them.
The short version: We use a small number of cookies to keep the site working and to understand how it's being used. We don't use cookies to track you across the web or serve you ads.
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They're widely used to make sites work properly, remember your preferences, and give website owners a basic picture of how their site is being used.
Cookies can be "session cookies" — which are deleted when you close your browser — or "persistent cookies", which stay on your device until they expire or you delete them.
Under the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), we are required to tell you what cookies we use and get your consent for any that aren't strictly necessary for the site to function.
We keep our cookie use as minimal as possible. The cookies on this site serve three purposes: keeping the site working, understanding how it's being used, and (where applicable) understanding how people arrive here from our marketing. We do not use cookies to build advertising profiles or to track you across other websites.
Some cookies are set by third-party services that appear on our pages. These may include analytics providers and embedded content from platforms like YouTube or social media. Each third-party service operates under its own cookie and privacy policies — we'd encourage you to review these directly if you'd like to understand how they use data.
We're selective about what third-party services we embed, and we don't allow third parties to use cookies on our site for their own advertising purposes without your explicit consent.
You have real control here. When you first visit our site, you'll be given the option to accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can change your preferences at any time.
You can also control cookies directly through your browser. Most browsers allow you to:
Blocking all cookies will affect how the site works — some features may not function correctly. Blocking only non-essential cookies will have minimal impact on your experience.
Here's how to manage cookie settings in the most common browsers:
| Browser | Where to find cookie settings |
|---|---|
| Google Chrome | Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data |
| Safari | Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data |
| Firefox | Preferences → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data |
| Microsoft Edge | Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Cookies and site data |
For other browsers, consult your browser's help documentation. On mobile devices, cookie settings are typically found in the browser app's settings menu.
As our website and the tools we use evolve, we'll update this policy to reflect any changes to the cookies we use. The "last updated" date at the top of this page tells you when it was last revised. We'll update the cookie consent banner on the site accordingly.
If the changes are significant, we'll make that clear at the top of the page.
If you have questions about how we use cookies, or you'd like to opt out of anything specific, please get in touch:
