This page explains how this website uses cookies and similar technologies, as required by the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and the UK GDPR.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device. Some are needed for the site to work. Others, such as those used for analytics or advertising, collect information about how you use it.

What we use

At the moment this website uses only the essential cookies and storage that WordPress and our hosting need to work properly and securely (for example, to keep our site team signed in when they edit the site). We do not use advertising or tracking cookies, and we do not use analytics cookies on this site.

Type	Purpose	Can you turn it off?
Essential	Security and sign-in for our site team; basic site operation	No, the site would not work properly without them

Your choices (cookie banner)

When you first visit, a banner lets you accept all cookies, reject all non-essential cookies, or choose by category (Analytics and Marketing are off unless you switch them on). Your choice is saved in your browser, and you can change it at any time using the “Cookie settings” link at the bottom of any page. If we later add tools that use non-essential cookies, such as visitor statistics or embedded videos and maps, they only run if you have agreed.

Third-party content

Links on this site take you to other services such as WhatsApp, Google Maps and social media. If you follow them, those services may set their own cookies. Please check their cookie policies.

Managing cookies

You can delete or block cookies in your browser settings. For a guide, see allaboutcookies.org or the ICO website at ico.org.uk. Blocking essential cookies may stop parts of the site from working.
