Cookie policy
We keep cookies to a minimum. The site works fully without any optional cookies, and analytics cookies stay off unless you accept them. Last updated November 8, 2026.
What cookies are
Cookies are small files a website stores in your browser. Similar technologies, such as browser session storage, work in the same way. UK law (the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations) requires your consent for any that are not strictly necessary.
Strictly necessary
These do not need consent because the site cannot remember your choices without them.
| Name | Type | Purpose | Lasts |
|---|---|---|---|
| adfs_consent | First-party cookie | Remembers whether you accepted or rejected analytics cookies | 6 months |
| adfs_popup_dismissed | Session storage | Stops the consultation pop-up appearing again after you close it | Until you close the browser tab |
Analytics without cookies
Vercel Web Analytics and Vercel Speed Insights count page views and measure page speed without setting cookies or identifying you. Vercel says its analytics use a hash of the request that is discarded after 24 hours, so visitors cannot be tracked across days or sites.
Analytics cookies, only with your consent
If we switch on Google Analytics, these cookies are set only after you click Accept analytics cookies. Until then, Google Consent Mode keeps them off.
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Lasts |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics | Distinguishes visitors so we can count them | 2 years |
| _ga_<ID> | Google Analytics | Keeps the state of your visit | 2 years |
We do not use advertising or social media cookies.
How to change your choice
Use Cookie settings at the bottom of any page to accept or reject analytics cookies at any time. You can also delete or block cookies in your browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary storage means the site cannot remember your choices.
