The short version
This website sets no cookies at all. We do not use analytics, advertising or tracking software, and we do not store anything on your device. That is why you are not asked to accept or reject cookies when you arrive.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website can put on your computer, phone or tablet when you visit. They are usually used to recognise your device on a return visit, to keep you signed in, or to count and track visitors. The law requires websites to obtain your consent before setting cookies that are not strictly necessary for the site to work.
What we use
Nothing. To be specific, this website does not use:
- Analytics or performance cookies, such as Google Analytics
- Advertising or targeting cookies
- Functionality cookies that remember your preferences
- Social media tracking pixels
We do not have a login area for visitors, so we do not need cookies to keep anyone signed in.
The one thing loaded from elsewhere
Our Contact page includes a map from OpenStreetMap so you can see where our head office is. When that map loads, your browser connects to OpenStreetMap's servers, which means they can see your IP address in the same way any website you visit can. OpenStreetMap does not set cookies through this map. If you would rather not load it, you can use the written address on the same page instead.
Controlling cookies yourself
Even though we do not set any, you can control cookies for every website through your browser settings, usually under Options, Preferences or Settings. There you can block cookies, delete existing ones, or ask to be warned before any are set. Blocking all cookies will stop many other websites working properly.
If this changes
If we ever add anything that sets cookies, for example website statistics, we will ask for your consent before it loads, give you a genuine option to refuse, update this page to list exactly what is set and why, and continue to work without them if you say no.
