Cookie Policy

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files placed on a device when a website is visited. They can help a site function, remember preferences, maintain security and provide information about how the site is used. Similar technologies may perform comparable functions.

2. Cookies we may use

Strictly necessary cookies

These support core functions such as security, network management, form operation and recording cookie choices. Because the website cannot operate properly without them, they do not require consent.

Preference cookies

These remember choices that improve how the website behaves or appears. Where required, they are used only after consent.

Analytics cookies

These help us understand visits and usage patterns, such as which pages are viewed and how visitors reach the site. Analytics information is used to improve content and performance. Optional analytics cookies are used only when enabled through the consent controls.

Third-party and embedded-content cookies

Content or services supplied by another provider may set cookies or collect usage data when loaded. Where these technologies are not essential, they should remain blocked until the relevant consent is given.

3. Current website tools

The website uses WordPress and supporting tools for security, forms, email delivery, performance, image optimisation, consent management and website measurement. The exact cookies in use can change as these tools are updated or configured.

The cookie consent banner is intended to provide the most current category and preference information available on the site. You can use it to accept, refuse or revisit optional choices.

4. Managing cookies

You can manage optional cookies through the website’s cookie controls and through your browser settings. Blocking all cookies may affect website functions. Browser help pages explain how to view, delete and block cookies.

5. How long cookies last

Some cookies last only for the browser session; others remain for a defined period so a preference can be remembered. Retention depends on the purpose and provider. Cookie consent choices may be retained so the site does not ask on every visit.

6. Personal information

Where cookie information can identify or relate to a person, it is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

7. Changes and contact

We may update this policy when our website technologies or legal requirements change. Questions about cookies can be sent through our contact page.
