COOKIES POLICY

Last updated: 24.08.26

This page explains what cookies are, which ones this website uses, and how you can control them. Nothing here is used to identify you personally or to sell your information.

WHAT COOKIES ARE

Cookies are small text files that a website saves to your device when you visit. They help the site work properly, remember your choices, and, in some cases, help the site owner understand how the website is being used. Some cookies are essential; others are optional and only used with your permission.

THE COOKIES THIS WEBSITE USES

This is a simple website, so it uses very few cookies.

  1. Essential website cookies

For: keeping the site working, secure and displaying correctly. Set by WordPress, the platform the site is built on.

Needs consent? No – the site cannot work without these.

2. Google Analytics

For: understanding how many people visit and which pages are popular, so the site can be improved. Does not identify you personally.

Needs consent? Yes – only used if you agree.

  1. Social media / embedded content

For: if a page shows an embedded Instagram or Facebook feed, or a map or video, that third party may set its own cookies.

COOKIES THAT NEED YOUR CONSENT

Essential cookies are always on, because the site cannot function without them. Any analytics or third-party cookies are only used if you agree to them.

MANAGING YOUR COOKIES

You are always in control. You can:

– Change your choice at any time using the cookie settings on the website

– Manage or delete cookies through your web browser settings. Most browsers let you block or remove cookies. The ICO’s guide to cookies (ico.org.uk/for-the-public/online/cookies) explains how.

Please note that blocking essential cookies may stop parts of the website, such as the contact form, from working properly.

CHANGES TO THIS POLICY

I may update this policy if the cookies used on the site change. When I do, I will update the date at the top of the page.
