The short version. This site uses Google Analytics to count visits. It runs for everyone unless you switch it off under Options on the banner, or with the Cookie choices link at the bottom of any page. Marketing cookies are off unless you click Accept all, and no advertising tool is running on the site today.

What a cookie is

A small file a website asks your browser to keep, so it can recognise something next time — that you are logged in, what you put in a basket, or, in the advertising case, that you are the same person who visited a different site last week.

Visit stats: on unless you switch them off

Google Analytics (GA4) tells us how many people came, which pages they read and roughly where they were. It sets its own cookies to tell a returning visitor from a new one.

It also counts two moments — a click on a Contact Us button and a sent contact form — so we can see which pages bring enquiries. It never receives what you type into the form, and it does not try to work out who you are by name.

It loads with the page. To switch it off, open Options on the banner (or Cookie choices at the bottom of any page), untick Visit stats and save. From then on Analytics sets no cookies and does not count you as a visitor; Google receives only an anonymous, cookie-free signal that a page was opened. If you declined our earlier banner, that was a no to everything, which today means a no to marketing: your visits are counted, and you can switch that off the same way.

If you are in the EU, the EEA, the UK or Switzerland, Analytics asks first: it sets no cookies and does not count you until you say yes to visit stats.

Marketing: off unless you say yes

The banner also asks whether we may use marketing cookies, so we can tell which of our ads are worth paying for. Nothing like that runs until you click Accept all or tick Marketing under Options. No thanks declines marketing and leaves visit stats as they are.

Today there is no advertising tool on the site at all. Saying yes now only lets Google Analytics use its advertising features. When we add one — a Meta pixel is the likely first — this page will list it, what it does and how long it lasts, before it goes live, and it will load only for visitors who said yes to marketing.

What we keep in your browser

Your answer to the banner is stored in your own browser so we do not ask on every page. It never leaves your browser, and you can change it whenever you like with the Cookie choices link at the bottom of any page.

Cookies we cannot set for you

Our host, Cloudflare, may set a strictly necessary cookie to keep the site up and to tell a person apart from an attack. It carries no advertising identifier and cannot be used to profile you.

Turning them off yourself

Every browser will let you block or delete cookies for a site, and most will let you refuse third-party ones outright. Look under Settings, then Privacy. Doing that will not break anything here.

Browsers can also send a Global Privacy Control signal. If yours does, we take it as a no to marketing: nothing for marketing loads and the banner does not ask. Visits are still counted unless you switch that off under Cookie choices.
