Cookie Policy
Cookies and similar technologies can keep a website working, remember preferences and, where permitted, help the business understand use of its pages. This policy should reflect the cookies actually installed on your website.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small files that websites can store on a device. Websites may also use related technologies, such as pixels and local storage, to retrieve or store information. Some technologies are necessary for security, form submission or features requested by a visitor; others are optional.
What categories may apply?
Essential: technologies needed to deliver a service you request, maintain security or operate key website functions. Preferences: technologies used to remember settings. Analytics: technologies used to understand site usage. Advertising: technologies used to measure ads or personalise marketing.
These descriptions explain categories, not a claim that every category is in use. Only the categories actually present on this site should appear in the final cookie banner and inventory.
Which cookies does this website use?
Website-owner action required: carry out a cookie and tag scan on the live WordPress website, including plugins, embedded forms and third-party scripts, before publishing this list.
| Cookie / technology | Provider | Purpose & category | Expiry |
|---|---|---|---|
| [COOKIE NAME 1] | [PROVIDER] | [ACTUAL PURPOSE; ESSENTIAL OR OPTIONAL] | [ACTUAL DURATION] |
| [COOKIE NAME 2] | [PROVIDER] | [ACTUAL PURPOSE; ESSENTIAL OR OPTIONAL] | [ACTUAL DURATION] |
Remove empty rows and add all material cookies and relevant similar technologies after auditing the website.
When is consent needed?
We provide information about storage and access technologies and obtain consent where UK law requires it. Technologies covered by a valid legal exception do not necessarily require consent. Optional advertising and similar non-exempt tracking should remain disabled until the visitor gives valid consent. Some limited-purpose technologies may qualify for additional exceptions introduced by the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025, subject to the conditions in the law and ICO guidance.
Our website must give visitors a genuine choice and must not assume consent merely because they continue browsing.
How can visitors change choices?
Use the website’s [ADD WORKING COOKIE SETTINGS CONTROL/LINK] to accept, reject or adjust optional categories, where applicable. You can also delete or block cookies using your browser settings. Blocking essential features may affect how some services work.
Website-owner action required: install and configure a working consent-management system. This text is not a substitute for a functioning preference control.
Third-party services and updates
Embedded services and third-party integrations may place their own cookies when enabled. We review the inventory when plugins, embeds or marketing tools change. For personal-data processing related to cookies, see our Privacy Policy.
