Cookie Policy

What a cookie actually is

A cookie is a small text file a website asks your browser to store. It doesn't run programs, and it can't reach into other parts of your device. Most cookies simply remember a setting or a choice you made, so the site doesn't ask you the same question repeatedly.

The categories we use

Strictly necessary cookies keep the site functioning, including remembering that you've already responded to our cookie preference modal so it doesn't reappear every time you load a page. These cannot be turned off, since the site would not work sensibly without them.

Analytics cookies, only set if you opt in, help us see in aggregate which guides are read and roughly how visitors move through the site. This data is not used to identify you personally and is reviewed only in summarised form.

Preference cookies, also optional, remember small display choices, such as whether you've already seen certain prompts, so your experience feels consistent across visits.

How consent works here

When you first arrive, a centred window asks you to choose which optional categories to allow. Closing that window using the background overlay is treated the same as choosing only strictly necessary cookies. You can revisit this choice at any time using the "Manage Cookies" link found in the footer of every page.

How long cookies last

Your saved preference is stored for approximately six months before you'll be asked again. Session-related technical cookies typically expire when you close your browser.

Cookies set by embedded services

Pages that include a map embed or font delivery script may cause the related third-party domain to set its own cookies, governed by that provider's own policy rather than this one. We link to relevant third-party services only where they serve a clear functional purpose on the page.

Managing cookies through your browser

Separately from our preference tool, your browser itself lets you block or delete cookies at a broader level. Doing so may affect how this and other websites behave, since some functionality depends on cookies being present.
