Cookies & Analytics

We don’t use advertising, tracking, or social media cookies. We use a privacy-friendly analytics tool to understand website traffic and improve the site. This analytics runs without cookies and does not track you across other websites.

Do we set cookies?

No, not for analytics. Our analytics is cookieless. The site may set essential, strictly necessary cookies only if required for core functionality (e.g., load balancing or security). These do not require consent under UK law.

What analytics data do we collect?

Aggregated, non-identifying metrics such as: page URLs and titles, referrer, device type and browser, approximate location (country/region), and timestamp. IP addresses are processed briefly to derive location and then discarded; we don’t build user profiles or follow you around the web.

Legal basis

We rely on legitimate interests (UK GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)) to measure site usage and keep the site useful and secure. Because our analytics does not set non-essential cookies, consent under PECR is not required.

Your choices

• We respect your browser’s Do Not Track setting where supported.
• You can block analytics scripts via content blockers if you prefer.
• Contact us if you want more details about our analytics setup.
