Cookie Policy
Last updated: 10 September 2026
Our website makes only limited use of cookies. A cookie is a small file of letters and numbers that a website may store on your browser or device. This policy explains what cookies are, which cookies our website uses, and how you can manage them.
How we use cookies
We use very few cookies. We do not use analytical or performance cookies, advertising or targeting cookies, or any third-party tracking, and we do not share your information with advertisers or advertising networks.
If you browse our site as a guest, in most cases no cookies are stored on your device. The cookies our site does use are strictly necessary or functionality cookies set by our website software to keep the site working and secure and, if you log in to manage the site, to remember your display preferences.
Types of cookies
Strictly necessary cookies. These are required for the operation of our website — for example, to keep it secure and to enable someone to log in to manage the site. Our site uses these.
Functionality cookies. These are used to recognise you when you return and to remember your preferences. Our site uses only minimal functionality cookies, for example to remember display settings for logged-in administrators.
Analytical / performance cookies. These count visitors and show how they move around a website. Our site does not use these.
Targeting cookies. These record your browsing to make advertising more relevant to your interests. Our site does not use these, and we do not display advertising.
Cookies our website may set
The cookies below are set by WordPress, the software our website runs on. They apply mainly when someone logs in to manage the site rather than to ordinary visitors.
| Cookie | Purpose | Type | Expires |
|---|---|---|---|
| wp-settings-[id], wp-settings-time-[id] | Remember display preferences for a logged-in administrator | Functionality | Up to ~1 year |
| WordPress login / session cookies | Keep administrators securely logged in while managing the site | Strictly necessary | Session / on logout |
Third-party cookies
Some websites allow third parties — such as analytics providers or advertising networks — to set cookies, over which the website has no control. Our website does not use any such third-party cookies.
Managing cookies
You can block or delete cookies by activating the setting on your browser that allows you to refuse the setting of all or some cookies. However, if you use your browser settings to block all cookies (including essential cookies) you may not be able to access all or parts of our site.
How long cookies last
Any cookies our site uses expire either at the end of your browsing session or, where they remember settings, typically within twelve months.
