1. What are cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet or phone) when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your device, remember your preferences and understand how the site is used. Cookies may be set by the website itself ("first-party cookies") or by third parties such as analytics and advertising providers ("third-party cookies").
2. How we use cookies
We use cookies to:
- Make our website work correctly and securely (essential cookies).
- Remember your preferences, such as your cookie choices.
- Understand how visitors use our website, so we can improve it.
- With your consent, measure the performance of our advertising and tailor content.
This website currently does not load analytics or advertising scripts by default. If we enable them in the future, they will only load after you have given consent, in line with the UK GDPR and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) 2003.
3. Types of cookies we use
- Essential cookies — strictly necessary for the website to function, for example to remember your cookie consent choice. These cannot be disabled and do not require consent.
- Analytics cookies — help us understand how visitors interact with our site (for example, which pages are popular). These are only placed with your consent.
- Marketing cookies — used to measure the effectiveness of our advertising and to personalise marketing. These are only placed with your consent.
- Preference cookies — remember choices you make on the site. Where they are not strictly essential, they are only placed with your consent.
4. Cookies we use
The following cookies are currently used on this website:
| Cookie | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| srt_consent_v1 | Essential | Stores your cookie consent preferences | 12 months |
| Consent Mode signals | Essential | Communicates your consent choice to advertising and analytics tags via the data layer | Session / 12 months |
If we add analytics or advertising cookies in the future, this table will be updated and those cookies will only be set with your consent.
5. Managing and withdrawing consent
When you first visit our website, a consent banner gives you the choice to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or select your preferences. You can also control cookies at any time by:
- Using your browser settings to block or delete cookies (see the help section of your browser, e.g. Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox).
- Clearing our consent cookie (srt_consent_v1) to see the consent banner again on your next visit.
- Adjusting the preference controls on our consent banner if shown.
If you block essential cookies, parts of our website may not function correctly. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing that took place before withdrawal.
6. Third-party cookies
Our website may include embedded content (such as maps) from third parties, and we may use third-party services such as analytics and advertising platforms with your consent. These providers may set their own cookies when you interact with that content. We do not control third-party cookies, and we encourage you to review the privacy and cookie policies of those providers. Where embedded content is used, it is limited to that necessary for our services.
