Cookies are small files stored on your device. We use them, and similar technologies (like local storage), to make the site work, understand usage, and — with your consent — show and measure advertising.
When you first visit, our banner lets you Accept all, Reject non-essential, or Manage preferences (toggle analytics and advertising separately). Strictly necessary cookies are always on because the site can’t work without them. You can change your choice anytime via “Cookie settings” in the footer.
Strictly necessary — core functionality and security (no consent required under PECR). Analytics — anonymised, aggregated usage to improve the site (consent required). Advertising — relevant ads and measurement via partners such as Google AdSense (consent required).
Where we use Google services, we operate Google Consent Mode v2: analytics and ad storage default to denied and are only granted if you consent. No advertising or analytics cookies are set before consent.
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings, though some features may then not work. More on cookies and your rights at the ICO (ico.org.uk).
