Cookie Policy
Last updated 6 November 2026
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device. Some are essential to make a site work securely; others are used to track people or show advertising. Similar technologies, such as local storage, work in much the same way.
How we use cookies
The short version: we don’t use cookies to track you. This website:
- does not use advertising or social media tracking cookies
- does not use Google Analytics
- does not set any cookies of its own
Our hosting provider, Cloudflare, may set a small number of strictly necessary cookies to protect the site from bots and abuse, and our contact form uses Cloudflare Turnstile to check that messages are sent by real people. Because these are strictly necessary for security, the law doesn’t require us to ask for your consent, so you won’t see a cookie banner here.
Analytics without cookies
We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to understand how many people visit our pages. It doesn’t use cookies or local storage, doesn’t collect personal information to identify you, and doesn’t follow you across other websites. It simply gives us anonymous, combined figures such as page views and visitor counts.
Cookies you may see
| Name | Set by | Purpose | Lasts |
|---|---|---|---|
__cf_bm | Cloudflare | Tells people and bots apart to protect the site from malicious traffic. Strictly necessary. | 30 minutes |
cf_clearance | Cloudflare | Remembers that you have passed a security check, so you aren’t asked again. Only set if a check is shown. Strictly necessary. | Up to 1 year (usually much less) |
_cfuvid | Cloudflare | Helps apply fair rate limits to traffic from shared networks. Strictly necessary. | End of browsing session |
Cloudflare Turnstile, used on our contact form, does not set cookies for tracking or advertising. You can read more in Cloudflare’s cookie policy (opens in a new tab).
Managing cookies
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time. Because the cookies listed above are needed for security, blocking them may mean you are asked to complete extra checks, or the contact form may not work. Your browser’s help pages explain how to manage cookies.
