Cookie Policy

The four categories of cookie

Every cookie falls into one of four categories. Two are optional, and one we do not use at all.

Essential cookies — always active

These keep the site operating. One records your consent preference, so that you are not asked on every page. They cannot be disabled.

Analytics cookies — optional

These indicate which pages and which work our visitors find most useful. The data is aggregated and counted, and no personal profile is constructed from it.

Preference cookies — optional

These record minor choices, such as a region or a display setting, which makes subsequent visits more convenient. Nothing recorded here identifies you.

Advertising cookies — never set

We operate no advertising networks on this site and we do not sell your data, so no third-party advertising or retargeting cookies are set.

Managing your preferences

No account is required in order to change these settings. You may accept the optional cookies or retain only those that are essential, and your preference is held on this device until you clear it.

Declining the optional cookies will not impair the site; a small number of minor features will simply not recall your previous visit. Your preference may be revised in three places:

• On this page — reopen the consent notice using the button below and record a fresh answer.
• In your browser — clear or block cookies from the privacy or history settings.
• Site by site — most browsers permit cookies to be allowed or refused for individual sites.

How your consent is stored

Once you have made your selection, a single value is stored on your device. It records only whether the optional cookies were permitted, and holds no name, email address or browsing history.

Third parties

Certain services we use, such as maps or embedded video, may set cookies of their own. We keep these to a minimum, and each is governed by that provider's own policy.

Changes to this page

This policy may be updated as the technologies we use change. Where it is, the date at the top is revised, and any substantial change will prompt a fresh consent notice on your next visit.

For the fuller position, please read our Privacy Policy.
