Cookies Policy
Last updated:
This Cookies Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies are, which ones we use on this website, the purposes they serve, and how you can manage your preferences.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow websites to remember information about your visit, such as preferences and settings, which can make subsequent visits more convenient and the site more useful. Similar technologies include local storage and session storage, which are also covered by this policy.
2. Why we use cookies
We use a deliberately small number of cookies on this website. Our aims are to keep the site working correctly, to remember whether you have acknowledged our cookie notice, and to gather basic anonymous statistics that help us understand how readers use our guides.
3. Categories of cookies we use
3.1 Strictly necessary
These cookies are required for the website to function. They support core features such as page navigation, form submission and security. Without them the website cannot operate as intended.
3.2 Preference
These cookies remember basic choices you make, such as dismissing the cookie notice. They improve your experience on subsequent visits.
3.3 Analytics
If enabled, lightweight analytics may be used to understand which pages are most useful to readers. We do not collect data that can directly identify individual visitors and we do not share analytics information with advertisers.
4. Third-party services
Some pages embed services provided by third parties, such as a Google Maps frame on the contact page. These services may set their own cookies, governed by their own policies. We do not control these cookies and we encourage you to review the relevant providers’ documentation.
