Cookie Policy

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make sites work, to remember your preferences and to provide information to site owners about how their pages are used.

This policy explains which cookies this website sets, why, and how you can control them. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

2. Cookies we use

Strictly necessary cookies. These are required for the site to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They include the cookie that records your cookie preferences and, if you sign in to the content admin, the cookie that keeps you signed in. These do not store information that identifies you as a visitor to the public site.

Analytics cookies. Where enabled and where you have consented, these help us understand which pages are useful by collecting aggregated information about visits. We configure analytics so that IP addresses are anonymised, and we do not use it to identify individuals.

We do not set advertising or cross-site tracking cookies, and we do not sell any data collected through this website.

3. Your choices

When you first visit, you are asked whether to allow analytics cookies. Nothing beyond the strictly necessary cookies is set until you accept.

You can change your decision at any time using the cookie settings link in the footer of every page. Withdrawing consent stops further analytics cookies being set.

4. Managing cookies in your browser

Most browsers let you refuse or delete cookies through their settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop parts of this site working correctly, including the admin sign-in.

Guidance for each major browser is published by its manufacturer, and the Information Commissioner's Office provides general advice for UK users.

5. Changes to this policy

We review this policy whenever the cookies we use change, and at least annually. The date of the most recent update is shown when you view the page in the content admin.
