What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by websites you visit. They are used to make sites work, to remember preferences, and to measure how a site is used. Similar technologies include local storage and pixels; where we say “cookies” below, we mean all of them.
The cookies we use
| Type | Purpose | Consent needed |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Core site functions, security, and remembering your cookie choices | No — exempt under PECR |
| Analytics | Understanding which pages are read and how people arrive, so we can improve them | Yes |
| Functional | Remembering preferences such as display settings | Yes |
Third parties
Analytics may be provided by Google Analytics via Google Site Kit. Where analytics cookies are set, data is processed by that provider under its own terms. Embedded content from other sites (for example a video player) may set its own cookies when you interact with it — those are governed by that provider’s policy, not ours.
Your control
Where consent is required, we ask for it and you can decline. You can change your mind at any time using the cookie settings on this site.
You can also control cookies in your browser: every major browser lets you block or delete them, and blocking all cookies will affect how many sites work. Guidance is in your browser’s own settings and help pages.

Do Not Track
There is no agreed standard for responding to Do Not Track signals, so we do not currently respond to them. Your cookie choices on this site are respected regardless.
Your rights
Under UK GDPR and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations you have rights over personal data collected through cookies, including the right to access it, to have it erased, and to withdraw consent. These are set out in our privacy policy. You may also complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk.
Changes
We will update this page if our use of cookies changes, and the date at the top will reflect that.
