A short list, plainly described.
Last updated . We use as few cookies as a working site allows. Here is exactly what each one does.
You can change your preferences any time:
What is a cookie?
A small text file a website asks your browser to remember. Some cookies are essential (without them, a site cannot remember that you are logged in, or that you filled half a form). Others are optional — they help the site owner understand how their site is used. We use very few of either, and we group them in four categories so you can be precise about which you allow.
The categories
Strictly necessary. Always on. Required for the site to work at all.
Analytics. Off by default. Anonymous statistics about which pages people read.
Functional. Off by default. Future preference storage — remembered currency, region, partially-completed forms. None in active use today.
Marketing & advertising. Off by default. None in use, ever. We do not advertise or sell your data.
The complete list
This is every cookie the site currently sets:
| Name | Category | Lifetime | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|
| wm-consent | Necessary | 6 months | Stores the cookie-preferences choice you made on this page. Without this we would ask again on every visit. |
| wm-consent-v1 | Necessary | 6 months | Same purpose as above, stored in localStorage as a redundant fallback. |
| _ga | Analytics | 13 months | Google Analytics 4 — assigns a randomised identifier to your session so repeat visits aren't double-counted. IP-anonymised. Set only if you accept analytics. |
| _ga_* | Analytics | 13 months | Google Analytics 4 property-specific identifier (the asterisk is the property ID). Same scope as _ga. |
That is the entire set. We do not use marketing cookies, advertising pixels, social-media trackers, retargeting cookies, fingerprinting, session-replay, or heatmapping tools.
If you reject analytics
If you reject non-essential cookies (or arrive with the Global Privacy Control signal set), the _ga and _ga_* cookies are never set, and our Google Tag Manager container fires no analytics tags. Only the wm-consent cookie remains — we use it to remember that you said no.
Browser controls
You can also block or clear cookies directly in your browser. Doing so will reset the consent banner so we will ask again on your next visit.
Signals we honour
Global Privacy Control (GPC). If your browser sends the GPC header (Brave, DuckDuckGo browser, Firefox with the extension, others), we treat that as an automatic opt-out of analytics, functional, and marketing categories. The consent banner does not appear; only strictly-necessary cookies are set.
Do Not Track (DNT). DNT is a deprecated standard but we still respect it as a soft signal: the consent banner appears, but with all optional categories pre-set to off.
