Cookie Policy

What this website stores on your device, why it stores it, and how to change your mind at any time.

In short

The cookies we set

Cookies are small files a website stores on your device. Some are needed for the site to work at all. Others tell us which pages are useful.

We only set the optional ones after you agree through the cookie banner, and you can change your decision whenever you like. Declining does not reduce what you can read or do here.

We do not use advertising cookies on this site and we do not share what we collect with advertising networks.

01

Strictly necessary cookies

These make the site function. They include the session cookie that keeps a form working across pages, the security token that protects forms from cross site request forgery, and the cookie that records your cookie choice so you are not asked on every page.

These cannot be switched off through the banner, because switching them off would break the thing you came here to do.

They do not track you across other websites and they are not used for marketing.

  • Session and form handling
  • Security token for form protection
  • A record of your own cookie choice
  • Cannot be disabled without breaking the site
02

Analytics cookies

If you accept them, analytics cookies tell us which pages get read, how people arrive, and where they give up. That is genuinely how we decide what to rewrite.

We use this at the level of patterns rather than individuals. We are not trying to identify you, and we do not attempt to link browsing to a named person.

If you decline, we simply have less information, and the site behaves exactly the same for you.

  • Set only after you accept
  • Used for patterns, not individual identification
  • Declining changes nothing about how the site works
03

Changing your mind

Your choice is stored in a cookie so we can respect it. To change it, clear this site's cookies in your browser and reload the page, and the banner will ask again.

Every major browser also lets you block or delete cookies entirely through its settings, and offers a private browsing mode that discards them when you close the window.

If you block all cookies, parts of the site that depend on the strictly necessary ones may not work correctly, in particular form submission.

  • Clear this site's cookies to be asked again
  • Browser settings can block or delete cookies
  • Blocking everything may break form submission
04

Third party services

Where we use a third party analytics service, that service may set its own cookies under its own policy. We only enable it after consent.

Fonts and other assets used by this site are loaded in a way that keeps third party requests to a minimum.

If we ever add a service that changes what is stored on your device, this page is updated before it goes live rather than afterwards.

  • Third party analytics only after consent
  • Third party requests kept to a minimum
  • This page is updated before a new service is enabled
