Last updated: 21 July 2026
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are used to make websites work, to remember your preferences, and to collect information about how a site is used. Some cookies are essential; others are optional and only set with your consent.
2. Your choices
When you first visit our website, a banner asks whether you accept optional (analytics) cookies. We do not set any analytics cookies unless you accept them. Essential cookies are always set because the website cannot work without them.
You can change or withdraw your choice at any time:
3. Cookies we use
Strictly necessary cookies (always active)
These are required for the website to function and cannot be switched off.

4. How we handle consent
We use Google Consent Mode. Until you accept, analytics and advertising storage are set to “denied”, meaning no analytics cookies are written to your device. If you accept, consent is updated to “granted” and analytics begin. If you choose “Reject non-essential”, analytics cookies remain switched off.
5. Managing cookies in your browser
You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Please note that blocking essential cookies may stop parts of this website from working. Guidance is available for Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Edge.
