This statement sets out what cookies and similar technologies we use, why we use them, and the choices available to you in line with UK GDPR and ICO guidance.
Last updated: 7 March 2025
Managing your preferences
When you first visit, we ask for consent to use optional cookies. You can change that decision at any time using the controls in the banner or by clearing cookies in your browser. Essential cookies will remain active so the site continues to function securely.
Rejecting optional cookies will not affect access to core content. It may limit certain analytics-driven improvements or personalisation.
Strictly necessary
Required to maintain secure sessions, load site infrastructure, and protect against fraud. These cookies activate automatically and cannot be switched off.
Examples
- Session identifiers
- Load balancer routing
- CSRF protection
Typical retention
Session-only or up to 12 months depending on the control.
Performance & analytics
Set only when you consent. We use privacy-first analytics to understand aggregated usage, detect broken flows, and plan resilience improvements.
Examples
- Anonymised page timing events
- Aggregated navigation paths
Typical retention
Aggregated reports retained for up to 24 months.
Preference
Stores selections such as language, theme, or cookie settings so the site remembers your choices.
Examples
- Theme toggle
- Cookie consent status
Typical retention
Up to 12 months or until you clear your browser storage.
Third parties
We minimise third-party scripts. Where a strategic supplier is required (for example, secure authentication or consent logs), we complete a security review and ensure contracts include UK GDPR compliant safeguards.
