Cookie Policy
Last updated 11 November 2026
Cookies are small files a website saves in your browser. This page lists everything this website saves, and the one thing that is optional: analytics.
Your choice
Analytics only runs if you accept it. You can change your mind at any time, as easily as you chose: use the button below, or Cookie settings at the foot of any page.
Essential
These make the site work, so they don't need your consent.
| Name | What it does | How long it lasts |
|---|---|---|
session (cookie) |
Protects the contact form against forged submissions, and keeps staff signed in to the site's admin area. Set when you open the contact page or sign in. | Until you close your browser |
pt-cookie-choice (browser storage) |
Remembers whether you accepted or declined analytics, so we don't ask on every page. | Until you clear your browser's site data |
site-notice:… (browser storage) |
Remembers that you have closed or already seen a notice, so it isn't shown again during your visit. | Until you close the tab |
The site is served through Cloudflare, which protects it from attacks. Cloudflare may set a security cookie of its own if it needs to check that a visit isn't automated.
Analytics
If you accept, we load Google Analytics to see which pages people read and how they found us. We have switched off its advertising features and Google signals, so it is not used to follow you around the internet or to show you ads. If you decline, no analytics code loads at all: it is never requested.
| Name | What it does | How long it lasts |
|---|---|---|
_ga and _ga_QGRGKBZVX7 (cookies) |
Set by Google Analytics only if you accept. They tell one visit from the next, so pages and visits are counted once each. | Up to two years. Choosing Essential only later removes them. |
The map on our contact page
The map comes from Google Maps, which sets its own cookies. It only loads if you press Show the map. Until then nothing is requested from Google Maps.
What we don't do
No advertising cookies and no social media pixels. For how we handle personal information, see our privacy notice.
