Summary

This site uses essential storage to work (your sign-in session, your cookie choice, and a security check on our forms). We use analytics only if you accept it in the cookie banner. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies. The sign-in and staff pages never run analytics.

Fonts and scripts from other services

To display the site we load fonts from Google Fonts and an animation library from cdnjs. When your browser fetches these, the provider receives your IP address. [Option: self-host the fonts and library to avoid this.]

Your choices

Change your cookie choice at any time. You can also block or delete storage in your browser settings, but sign-in and forms may stop working. We treat a Global Privacy Control signal from your browser as a rejection of analytics.

The law

The Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) require your consent for non-essential storage, with limited exceptions. We ask for consent for all analytics until our adviser confirms what can be run without it. [Have this checked.]
