Cookie Policy

1. What Cookies Are

Cookies are small text files stored by a browser. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, pixels, and software development kits. They can remember preferences, support security, measure usage, or enable third-party features.

2. Current Use

The current public website is designed to operate without non-essential first-party cookies. We do not currently run advertising, a newsletter form, user accounts, checkout, or first-party behavioural analytics.

Our hosting and security infrastructure may use strictly necessary technical mechanisms to route traffic, protect against abuse, and deliver content reliably. These mechanisms are not used to build advertising profiles.

3. Strictly Necessary Technologies

Strictly necessary technologies may support load balancing, request routing, security filtering, and basic availability. They are used because the website cannot be delivered securely without them.

4. Future CMS And Preview Cookies

A central CMS is planned. Editors and authorised preview users may need authentication or preview cookies. Those cookies should apply to administrative or preview sessions and should not be set for ordinary public visitors unless necessary.

5. Future Analytics

If we introduce analytics, we will first assess privacy, data minimisation, retention, and consent obligations. Where consent is required, analytics cookies will not be set until the visitor has made an informed choice.

6. Future Video Embeds

Third-party video platforms may set cookies when an embedded player loads. Before introducing video embeds, we will disclose the provider, use privacy-enhanced options where available, and request consent where required. Every video page will also provide a transcript that does not depend on the embed.

7. Future Advertising And Personalized Ads

No advertising cookies are currently set. If Google AdSense is enabled after approval, Google and other third-party vendors may use cookies to serve ads based on prior visits to this site or other websites. Google's advertising cookies may be used to serve personalized ads to users based on their browsing.

Visitors can opt out of personalized advertising through Google Ads Settings and can manage some third-party vendor cookies through aboutads.info. A consent management platform will be configured for visitors in regions where consent is legally required.

• Google Ads Settings
• aboutads.info choices

8. Consent Management

When non-essential cookies are introduced, we will provide clear information, an affirmative choice, and a way to change or withdraw consent. Consent records and vendor lists will be kept accurate and reviewed when services change.

9. Managing Cookies

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking all cookies may affect features that rely on authentication or preferences. Because this public site currently avoids non-essential cookies, blocking them should not prevent you from reading its content.

10. Changes

We will update this policy before enabling new cookie categories. The date below reflects the current revision.
