1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored by a browser when you visit a website. They can support essential functions, remember choices, improve security and help website owners understand how pages are used. Similar technologies, tags and scripts may perform related functions even when they do not store a traditional cookie.
2. Cookie categories used on this website
Necessary cookies
These are required for essential functions such as recording your cookie preference and protecting website operation. They cannot be switched off through the preference panel because the panel itself relies on them.
Analytics cookies
These help us understand aggregated website traffic and page usage. They are non-essential and should follow the analytics choice made in the cookie banner.
Functional and advertising cookies
The latest CookieAdmin scan did not identify active functional or advertising cookies. The preference panel may still show these categories so that any future additions can be controlled. We will rescan and update this policy when website tools change.
3. Current cookie list
| Cookie | Category | Purpose | Typical expiry |
|---|---|---|---|
cookieadmin_consent | Necessary | Stores the cookie categories and consent choices selected through CookieAdmin. | 365 days |
_ga | Analytics | Used by Google Analytics to distinguish website users and measure aggregated traffic. | 400 days |
_ga_<measurement-id> | Analytics | Used by Google Analytics to maintain and measure session activity for the configured property. | 400 days |
Cookie names and expiry periods can change when providers update their technology or configuration. The CookieAdmin scanner and preference panel provide the operational list currently detected by the website.
4. Website tools and third-party scripts
The website may use or load technology from:
- CookieAdmin for consent recording, category controls and Google Consent Mode;
- Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Google Site Kit for consent-aware measurement and tag management;
- WordPress, website hosting, security, caching and email services to operate and protect the site;
- Trustindex or review widgets to display public review content; and
- WordPress.com statistics or similar performance services where enabled.
A script or embedded service does not always set a browser cookie, but it may process technical information such as an IP address, browser details or page request. Non-essential tools should be controlled according to the selected consent state and applicable provider settings.
5. Google Consent Mode v2
Google Consent Mode v2 is enabled through CookieAdmin so Google tags can receive the consent status selected in the banner. This helps the site distinguish between necessary operation and consented analytics use. It does not replace your right to accept, reject or later change analytics consent.
6. How to manage your choices
- Select Accept All to allow analytics cookies.
- Select Reject All to continue with necessary cookies only.
- Select Manage Cookies to choose categories individually.
- Use the cookie-settings icon displayed on the website to reopen the preference panel and change or withdraw consent.
Changing consent affects future use of non-essential cookies. Cookies already stored can also be removed through your browser settings.
7. Browser controls
Most browsers allow you to view, block and delete cookies. Blocking all cookies may affect essential website functions, saved preferences or form security. Browser instructions are available in the help or privacy section of the browser you use.
8. Policy updates
We may update this policy after a cookie scan, plugin change, analytics change or legal requirement. The current version and update date will remain available here.
