Cookie Policy

What this site stores on your device. The short answer is nothing.

Last updated: 29 September 2026

This policy explains what cookies are, whether this website uses any, and how you can control them. It sits alongside our Privacy Policy.

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that a website asks your browser to store on your device. They are commonly used to remember preferences, keep you signed in, or measure how a site is used. Some are essential to how a site works; most are not.

What this website uses

None. If you are simply browsing this site, nothing at all is stored on your device. No cookies, and nothing kept in your browser’s local storage.

That is why you will not see a cookie banner here. There is nothing to accept, decline or manage, and we would rather not interrupt you to ask about something that does not happen.

Analytics without cookies

We do want to know which pages people find useful, so we measure visits, but we do it without cookies. Our analytics run on our own server, store no file on your device, and do not follow you to other websites. There is no Google Analytics on this site. We see totals, such as how many people read a page, rather than anything that identifies you.

If you have an account

Staff and volunteers who sign in to manage the website receive cookies from WordPress that keep them logged in securely. These are strictly necessary, they are only ever set after someone signs in, and they are never set for ordinary visitors.

No third parties

Everything this site loads, including its typefaces and images, comes from our own server. Reading these pages does not make your browser contact Google, a font service, an advertising network, or anyone else.

What we do not do

  • We do not use advertising cookies.
  • We do not build profiles of visitors, or track you across other websites.
  • We do not sell or share visitor data.

Managing cookies in your browser

Because this site sets no cookies, there is nothing here for you to change. If you want to block or delete cookies from websites in general, every major browser allows this, usually under Privacy or Security.
