Cookie Policy

Last updated: August 2026

1. What are cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device to help websites function and to collect information about how they're used. This Site uses cookies from itself and from third parties (Google).

2. Categories of cookies used

• Strictly necessary — remembers your cookie consent choice so the banner doesn't reappear every visit. Always active; cannot be disabled as it holds no personal data beyond your preference.
• Analytics — Google Analytics cookies that would measure visits, pages viewed, and general audience information, in aggregate. Not active yet; may be enabled in the future, and only with your consent.
• Advertising — Google AdSense cookies that would be used to serve ads and, where permitted, personalise them based on your interests. Not active yet; may be enabled in the future, and only with your consent.
• Embedded content — YouTube may set its own cookies when a video is loaded or played on the Site, governed by Google's cookie policy.

3. Managing your choice

When you first visit, a banner lets you Accept all, Reject non-essential cookies, or Customize your choice between Analytics and Advertising individually. Your choice is stored in your browser's local storage so you're not asked again. You can change your mind at any time using the cookie icon in the bottom-left corner of the Site, which reopens your preferences.

4. Browser-level controls

You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings, and opt out of Google's personalised advertising entirely at adssettings.google.com, or install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. Note that blocking necessary cookies may affect how the Site functions.

5. Cookie duration

Consent-preference cookies are kept for up to 12 months. If Google Analytics or AdSense are enabled in the future, their cookie lifespans are set by Google and typically range from a session up to 2 years — see the Google links above for current details.
