What cookies are

A cookie is a small text file a website stores on your device. Some are needed for the site to function at all. Others record how the site is used, so the people running it can see what is working.

Cookies cannot read other files on your device, and the ones on this site do not identify you by name.

02

What we use them for

Essential

Set by our website platform to keep the site running, remember your preferences within a session, and protect forms against abuse. The site does not work properly without these, so they cannot be switched off from here.

Analytics

These tell us which pages get read, how people arrive, and where they leave. We look at this in aggregate to decide what to write and what to fix. We do not use it to build a profile of you as an individual.

03

Cookie register

Three cookies, which is all this site sets. Reviewed whenever we add or remove a tool.

If you inspect this site and find a cookie that is not listed here, tell us. We will either document it or remove it. Note that your browser may also hold cookies from services you are separately logged into, such as Google. Those are not set by us and we cannot read them.

04

What we do not do

We do not run advertising or retargeting cookies on this site. You will not be followed around the internet by our ads because you read a page here.
We do not sell or share cookie data with data brokers or advertising networks.
We do not use cookies to identify individual visitors by name or to link your browsing to your contact details.
We do not use session recording or heatmap tools that capture what you type.
05

Managing cookies

Every major browser lets you block or delete cookies, either for all sites or site by site. The settings are usually under privacy or security. You can also browse in a private or incognito window, which clears cookies when you close it.

Blocking essential cookies will break parts of this site, including forms. Blocking analytics cookies changes nothing about how the site works for you.

06

Changes and contact

We update this policy whenever the cookies on the site change. How we handle personal information more broadly is set out separately.
