1. What are cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember information about your visit, such as whether you are signed in.

3. Cookies we do not use

We do not use any of the following:

  • Analytics or performance tracking cookies (e.g. Google Analytics)
  • Advertising or targeting cookies
  • Social media cookies
  • Third-party tracking pixels

4. Legal basis (UK PECR & UK GDPR)

Under the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and UK GDPR, strictly necessary cookies do not require prior consent — they may be set as long as users are clearly informed of their use. This page fulfils that disclosure requirement.

If we ever introduce non-essential cookies in future, we will update this policy and display a proper consent banner before setting them.

6. Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy if we introduce new cookies or technologies. Any material changes will be communicated via the notice banner on the site and by updating the “Last updated” date above.
