1) What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device to make websites work and to help us understand how you use the site. Related technologies include local storage, pixels, and SDKs. Some cookies are essential; others are optional and require your consent under UK GDPR/PECR.

2) How we use cookies

  • Strictly Necessary: required for security, load balancing, and basic site functions (e.g., WordPress, CDN).
  • Preferences/Functionality: remember your settings (e.g., consent choices).
  • Analytics (optional): help us understand traffic and improve content (e.g., Google Analytics 4 via Consent Mode).
  • Advertising (optional): deliver and measure ads; may personalise ads based on your consent (e.g., Google Ad Manager/Monumetric and their vendor partners).
  • Social/Embedded (optional): display content from platforms like YouTube, Instagram, or Pinterest. These services may set their own cookies.

3) Advertising & partners

We work with advertising partners (including Monumetric/Google Ad Manager) who may use the IAB TCF framework to receive and honour your consent choices. Depending on your settings, these partners may serve personalised or non‑personalised ads.

4) Your choices

On your first visit you’ll see a consent banner. You can Accept All, Reject Non‑Essential, or choose Manage Preferences to toggle categories. You can change or withdraw your consent anytime via the Cookie Settings link.

5) Google services

Where used, we implement Google Consent Mode so that tags adjust behaviour based on your consent. If you reject Analytics or Advertising, those tags are either blocked or operate in a limited, cookieless mode.

6) Cookies set by this site

The exact cookies in use can change. Our consent tool keeps an updated list of cookies and vendors by category.

7) Managing cookies in your browser

Most browsers let you block or delete cookies via settings. Blocking some cookies may impact site functionality.

8) Changes

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the “Last updated” date.
