Cookie Policy
This policy explains what cookies are, which ones we use, and how you can control them.
Last updated: April 2026
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the website to remember information about your visit — such as your preferences or how you navigated the site — making your next visit easier and the site more useful.
Cookies cannot access other information on your device, and most web browsers accept cookies automatically. You can control this through your browser settings (see Section 5).
2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies to:
- Ensure the website functions correctly
- Understand how visitors interact with our site so we can improve it (analytics)
- Measure the performance of our website using aggregated data
We do not use cookies for advertising or to build personal profiles for marketing purposes.
3. Cookies We Use

3.2 Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors use our website. All data collected is aggregated and anonymised — it does not identify you personally. We use Google Analytics for this purpose.
Analytics cookies are only placed with your consent, where applicable under UK PECR and UK GDPR.

Google Analytics data is processed and stored by Google LLC. Google may transfer this data to servers in the United States and other countries. For more information, see Google's Privacy Policy.
3.3 Performance Cookies
We use Vercel Analytics and Vercel Speed Insights to monitor web performance. These tools collect anonymised performance metrics (e.g. page load times, Core Web Vitals) and do not place tracking cookies on your device.
4. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on our site are set by third parties (e.g. Google Analytics). We do not control these cookies. Please refer to the relevant third-party privacy policies for more information:
