What are cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site function correctly and can remember your preferences.
Cookies we use
Essential cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website to function. They cannot be switched off.
- Session management — maintains your session state when you are signed in as a staff member. These cookies are set by our authentication system and are only present for authenticated users.
- Preview mode — if you are an authorised editor using CMS preview mode, a cookie is set to enable the preview functionality. This cookie is not set for public visitors.
Analytics cookies
Analytics cookies are off by default. They are only set if you explicitly consent to analytics tracking. If enabled, they help us understand how visitors use our website so we can improve it.
Third-party cookies
We do not use third-party advertising or social media cookies. Our CDN provider (Cloudflare) may set essential security cookies to protect against malicious traffic; these are strictly necessary and cannot be disabled.
Managing cookies
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or remove cookies. Blocking essential cookies may prevent the website from functioning correctly, including staff sign-in and CMS preview.
