Draft for review. This notice was written to match what this site and product actually do, but it has not been reviewed by a solicitor and it contains items only the business can complete — each marked [REVIEW] below. Do not treat this as final until those are resolved and someone qualified has read it.
Cookie policy
This site sets a small number of cookies. Under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations we need your consent for any that are not strictly necessary, which is what the banner on your first visit is for.
Strictly necessary — no consent needed
| Cookie | Purpose | Expires |
|---|---|---|
| Session cookie | Keeps you signed in as you move between pages | When you close the browser, or on sign-out |
| Antiforgery token | Stops a third-party site submitting a form as you | Session |
| Cookie consent | Remembers the choice you made, so we stop asking | 12 months |
These cannot be turned off, because the site does not work without them. They carry no advertising or tracking function.
Analytics — only with your consent
| Cookie | Set by | Purpose | Expires |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics | Distinguishes one visitor from another | 2 years |
| _ga_<id> | Google Analytics | Holds the session state for this property | 2 years |
We use these to see which pages are read and which are not. If you decline, the analytics script is not loaded at all — declining is not a cookie-free version of the same tracking.
What we do not use
No advertising cookies, no remarketing pixels, no social media trackers, and no cross-site profiling. We do not embed third-party fonts or scripts from a CDN, so nothing on this site quietly reports your visit to a party you have not heard of.
Changing your mind
Clear this site's cookies in your browser and the banner will ask again. You can also block or delete cookies entirely in your browser settings; the strictly necessary ones being blocked will stop you signing in.
[REVIEW] If a cookie-preferences link is added to the footer, describe it here. Note that Google Analytics only runs when a measurement ID is configured in site settings — if none is set, no analytics cookie is set at all.
More detail
What we do with the data behind these cookies is in the privacy notice.
