What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website. They allow a site to remember things such as your consent choices or the contents of a form. Similar technologies include local storage and tracking pixels, and this policy covers those too.
Our approach
Under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations, we may only set cookies that are strictly necessary without asking you first. Everything else needs your consent. On this site, no analytics cookie, marketing pixel, embedded map, embedded video or third party script loads until you have accepted the relevant category. Our fonts are hosted on our own server, so no request is made to any third party before you choose.
Strictly necessary cookies, always on
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| optimum_consent | Stores your cookie choices and the date and time you made them, so we do not ask again and so we hold a record of consent | 6 months |
| PHPSESSID or equivalent | Keeps your session working while you complete a form | Session |
| wordpress_logged_in | Only set for site administrators who log in to manage the website | Session or 14 days |
Analytics cookies, only with your consent
If you accept analytics, we may set cookies from a web analytics provider that tell us which pages are visited, how visitors found us and whether pages load correctly. This data is used in aggregate to improve the site. It is never used to identify you personally. Typical duration is up to 24 months and you can withdraw consent at any time.
Marketing cookies, only with your consent
If you accept marketing, we may set cookies and pixels from advertising platforms so we can measure whether our advertising works and show relevant adverts to people who have visited the site. Typical duration is up to 13 months.
Changing or withdrawing your consent
Select Cookie Settings in the footer of any page. The banner will reopen and you can change any category or reject everything optional. Withdrawing consent is as easy as giving it. You can also delete cookies through your browser settings at any time.
Our record of your consent
When you make a choice we store the categories you accepted, the version of the banner and a timestamp. That record is kept for 12 months as evidence of consent, as the ICO expects.
