Cookie policy
Short version: if you’re just reading this site, we don’t put tracking cookies on your device. Here’s exactly what does get set, and when. Last updated 3 November 2026.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website saves in your browser. Some are needed for a site to work. Others track what you do so a business can measure traffic or show you adverts. Under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), sites need your consent before setting any cookie that isn’t strictly necessary.
Cookies we use
We don’t use analytics, advertising or social media tracking cookies. The only cookies this site sets are strictly necessary ones, and most visitors never receive them.
| Cookie | Who gets it | Purpose | Expires |
|---|---|---|---|
| wordpress_test_cookie | Anyone opening the login page | Checks your browser accepts cookies before logging in | End of session |
| wordpress_logged_in_*, wordpress_sec_* | Site administrators only | Keeps our team logged in to WordPress | Session or 14 days |
| wp-settings-* | Site administrators only | Remembers admin screen preferences | 1 year |
| _lscache_vary | Site administrators only | Tells our caching system to show logged-in users fresh pages | Session |
Because these are strictly necessary, they don’t need consent and we don’t show a cookie banner.
Third-party services
Our pages load fonts from Google Fonts. Google doesn’t set cookies when serving fonts, but your browser does share your IP address with Google to download them. Our privacy policy explains this.
If we ever add analytics, a chat widget or embedded videos that set cookies, we’ll update this page first and ask for your consent before any of them load.
Controlling cookies
You can see, block and delete cookies in your browser settings. These guides explain how:
Blocking cookies won’t affect your visit as a reader. It will stop WordPress logins from working.
Changes to this policy
We’ll update this page whenever the cookies we use change. Questions go to [EMAIL].
