Let's Talk Cookies...
We believe in keeping things simple, including the small details behind the scenes. This page explains what cookies are, how we use them and how you can choose which ones you’re happy with. No confusing jargon, just the information you need.
1. What exactly are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites save on your device when you visit. Some help things work properly, others remember your preferences, and a few help us understand how the website is used. They’re not edible, sadly, but they can be rather useful.
2. What cookies do we use?
Not all cookies do the same job. Some are essential for keeping things running smoothly, while others add useful features or help us understand how the website is performing. Here’s a closer look at what each type does.
3. Necessary cookies
These are the essentials that keep everything running smoothly behind the scenes. They’re needed for the website to work properly, so they’re always switched on.
4. Functional cookies
These little extras help make your visit more comfortable, remembering preferences and supporting handy features. They’re not essential, but they can make things feel a little more tailored to you.
5. Analytics cookies
Even the best websites need a little refining. These cookies help us understand how visitors use our website, what’s working well and where we could make things even better. Optional cookies are only used when you’ve given us permission.
6. Advertising cookies
We don’t currently use cookies for advertising or personalised marketing.
7. You're in control
Your cookies, your rules. You can accept all optional cookies, stick with the essentials or choose exactly what you’re comfortable with. And if you change your mind later, that’s absolutely fine you can update your preferences whenever you like.

8. How long do cookies stay?
Not all cookies stick around forever. Some disappear when you close your browser, while others stay a little longer to remember preferences or help us understand how the website is used. You can find the lifespan of each cookie in the details below.
9. A little extra control
Want to take things a step further? Most browsers let you view, block or delete cookies through their settings. Just bear in mind that blocking essential cookies might stop certain parts of the website from working as they should.
You can find cookie controls in your browser’s privacy or security settings.
11. What about cookies from other websites?
Some features may be provided by trusted third-party services. Depending on the features you use, these services may set their own cookies. Where these cookies aren’t essential, we’ll ask for your permission before using them.
11. Keeping things up to date
Websites change, and sometimes the cookies they use do too. We’ll review this policy when needed so it continues to reflect what’s happening behind the scenes.
11. A little more about your privacy
Cookies are only one part of the picture. For more information about how we handle personal information, take a look at our Privacy Policy.
If you’ve got any questions about cookies or your privacy, you’re always welcome to contact me.
