What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help websites function properly, remember preferences, improve performance, and in some cases support analytics or advertising. Similar technologies can include pixels, local storage, and tags, but in this policy we refer to them together as cookies.
How we currently use cookies
At the date of this policy, this website is designed to operate without analytics, advertising, or other non-essential tracking cookies. We currently only expect to use cookies or similar technologies that are strictly necessary for the secure and reliable operation of the website.
If we introduce analytics, marketing, personalisation, or other non-essential cookies in future, we will update this policy and, where required by law, request your consent before those cookies are set.
Essential cookies
Essential cookies are required for core website functionality and do not require consent under PECR when they are strictly necessary to provide the service you request. These cookies may support security, load balancing, session continuity, and technical delivery of the website.
On a Next.js website, strictly necessary technical cookies can include cookies used for security protections, routing, server-side rendering support, or maintaining session state where relevant. The exact cookies may vary over time depending on hosting and platform updates.
| Category | Example purpose | Legal basis | Typical retention |
|---|---|---|---|
| Security and integrity | Protecting forms, preventing abuse, supporting safe delivery of pages | Legitimate interests / strictly necessary | Session to 12 months |
| Load balancing | Directing traffic to keep the site stable and available | Legitimate interests / strictly necessary | Session |
| Session state | Remembering temporary settings needed to deliver a page or request | Legitimate interests / strictly necessary | Session |
Analytics cookies
We do not currently use analytics cookies. If we add analytics tools in future, those cookies would be used to understand website performance, visitor journeys, and content effectiveness. Examples could include measuring page visits, time on page, traffic sources, and device types.
Any analytics cookies that are not strictly necessary would only be set after you provide consent. We would also identify the provider, explain the purpose of the cookies, and set out the relevant retention periods at that time.
Marketing cookies
We do not currently use marketing, advertising, or remarketing cookies. If we adopt these technologies in future, they may be used to measure campaign effectiveness, tailor promotions, or show more relevant advertising across websites and platforms.
Marketing cookies are non-essential and would require your consent before being placed on your device. This policy would be updated to describe the relevant providers, purposes, and retention periods.
Third-party cookies
Some website functionality may in future involve third-party service providers, such as embedded maps, video platforms, analytics tools, or customer communication services. Those third parties may place cookies or collect technical information through your browser when you interact with their content.
At present, we do not intentionally deploy third-party analytics or advertising cookies on this website. If this changes, we will identify the relevant third parties in this policy and explain whether their cookies are essential or subject to consent.
Cookie retention
Cookies can remain on your device for different periods. Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain for a defined period or until deleted. Where cookies are used, we aim to keep retention periods proportionate to their purpose.
For strictly necessary cookies, retention will usually range from the length of your browsing session up to 12 months, depending on the technical purpose. If non-essential cookies are introduced later, we will provide more specific retention details here.
Your choices and browser controls
You can control cookies through your browser settings, including by deleting existing cookies, blocking future cookies, or receiving alerts before certain cookies are stored. Most browsers provide controls for managing cookies in their privacy or security settings.
Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect the availability or performance of some parts of the website. If we add non-essential cookies in future, you will also be able to manage those preferences through the consent tools we make available at that time.
Your rights under UK GDPR
Depending on how cookies are used and whether personal data is processed, you may have rights under UK GDPR, including the right to:
- withdraw consent for non-essential cookies at any time;
- request access to personal data associated with you;
- request correction of inaccurate personal data;
- request erasure of personal data where applicable;
- object to certain processing or request restriction of processing;
- request data portability where the legal conditions apply; and
- complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office.
Where consent is the legal basis for a cookie, withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before that withdrawal.
