Cookie Policy
A plain-English guide to the small number of cookies this website uses, what each one does, and how you stay in control.
Last updated: 1 August 2026
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device. They help websites work properly, remember your choices and understand how they are being used. We keep our use of cookies deliberately small.
The cookies we use
We use two kinds of cookies: essential cookies that make the site work, and optional analytics cookies that help us improve it.
| Cookie | Type | What it does | How long it lasts |
|---|---|---|---|
| wj_consent | Essential | Remembers whether you have accepted or rejected optional cookies, so we do not keep asking you. | 6 months |
| _ga | Analytics (Google Analytics) | Distinguishes one visitor from another so we can count visits accurately. Set only where analytics is allowed. | Up to 2 years |
| _ga_* | Analytics (Google Analytics) | Keeps track of a browsing session for Google Analytics. Set only where analytics is allowed. | Up to 2 years |
How consent works where you live
United Kingdom and European Union
If you are visiting from the UK or the EU, we follow UK GDPR and EU GDPR. Optional analytics cookies are switched off when you arrive, and Google Analytics does not load at all until you choose to accept it. If you reject analytics cookies, they stay off. Nothing optional happens without your permission.
United States
If you are visiting from the United States, we show you a clear notice on your first visit and give you the same simple controls to accept, reject or fine-tune cookies. California residents have the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. We do not sell personal information, and we honour the Global Privacy Control signal: if your browser sends it, analytics is switched off automatically.
Changing your mind
You can change your cookie choices whenever you like:
- Click Cookie Preferences in the footer of any page to reopen the settings panel.
- Use your browser settings to block or delete cookies. Every major browser lets you do this.
- Install Google's own opt-out browser add-on if you would like to block Google Analytics everywhere.
If you withdraw consent, analytics stops being used on your future visits and we tidy away any Google Analytics cookies we can.
Changes to this policy
If our cookies change, we will update this page and the date at the top so you always have an accurate picture.
