Cookie Policy
Last updated: 30 August 2026
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, work more efficiently, and provide information to site owners. Under UK law (the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations), we can only set non-essential cookies with your consent.
How we use cookies
Strictly necessary. A small number of cookies or similar storage are required for the site to function — for example remembering your cookie consent choice, and storing your favourites shortlist on your device. These do not track you and do not require consent.
Analytics (consent required). With your consent we use Google Analytics 4 to understand how the site is used, so we can improve it. These cookies are only set if you accept them in the cookie banner.
Cookies we use
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Expiry |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics | Distinguishes visitors (analytics, consent-gated) | 2 years |
| _ga_* | Google Analytics | Maintains session state (analytics, consent-gated) | 2 years |
| cookieyes-consent | CookieYes | Remembers your cookie consent choice | 1 year |
This list is maintained with the help of an automated cookie scanner, which audits the site regularly and keeps this page current as cookies change.
Controlling your consent
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time using the "Cookie Settings" link in the website footer, which re-opens the consent banner. You can also delete cookies through your browser settings at any time; doing so will reset your consent choice and your favourites shortlist.
