Cookie Policy

What this website stores on your device, and how to change it.

Last updated: 22 July 2026

Before publishing: this page accurately describes how the website behaves, but it has not been reviewed by a solicitor or your data protection adviser. Please have it checked before you rely on it.

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small files a website stores on your device. Some are needed to make a site work. Others, like ours, are used to count visits and understand which pages are useful.

2. Our approach

Nothing is stored until you agree. Google Analytics is not loaded at all until you press Accept. If you decline, or simply ignore the banner, no Google script runs and no analytics cookie is created.

3. What is actually stored

NameTypePurposeExpires
ffl-consentLocal storage Remembers whether you accepted or declined, so we stop asking Until you clear it
_gaCookie Google Analytics: distinguishes one visitor from another 2 years
_ga_EE76LWJ60TCookie Google Analytics: keeps track of the current session 2 years

The two _ga cookies are only ever created if you press Accept.

4. Change your cookie choice

You can change your mind at any time. This clears the choice stored in your browser and asks you again.

5. Controlling cookies in your browser

Every major browser lets you block or delete cookies through its settings. Doing so for this site will not stop any content working, because we use no essential cookies. The guidance at ico.org.uk explains the options.

6. Other requests the site makes

This site loads its typeface from Google Fonts. That does not set a cookie, but the request does send your IP address and browser details to Google as the page loads, before any cookie choice is made.

7. More information

How we handle personal data generally is set out in our Website Privacy Policy.
