This is placeholder copy only. Finalise the cookie table by auditing what cookies the live site actually sets before publishing.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They are used to make sites work properly, remember your preferences, and help the site owner understand how the site is being used. Similar technologies include local storage, pixels, and tags. In this policy, references to "cookies" cover all of these.
2. How we use cookies
Strictly necessary. These cookies are required for the site to function. They do things like remember that you accepted the cookie banner, maintain a secure session if you log into any part of the site, and serve content efficiently. You cannot opt out of strictly necessary cookies without breaking the site.
Analytics. These cookies help us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it. We currently use Google Analytics 4 for this. Analytics data is aggregated and we do not use it to identify individuals.
Functional. These cookies remember choices you make on the site, such as theme preference or form inputs you have started filling.
We do not currently use advertising or retargeting cookies. If this changes, this policy will be updated and we will request fresh consent.
