Cookie Policy
Which cookies this site sets, what each one does, and how to refuse them. There are fewer than you might expect.

What a cookie is
A cookie is a small file a website asks your browser to keep. It lets the site recognise the same browser on a later request. Some are needed for the site to work at all. Others measure how the site is used. We use a small number of each and none for advertising.
The cookies we set
Strictly necessary
These keep the site secure and working. They cannot be switched off from within the site.
| Cookie | Set by | What it does | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
__cf_bm | Cloudflare | Tells automated traffic from people, so attacks can be blocked. | 30 minutes |
cf_clearance | Cloudflare | Records that a security check was passed, so you are not asked again. | Up to 1 year |
wordpress_logged_in_*, wp-settings-* | WordPress | Keeps an administrator signed in. Only set if you log in to the site, which visitors do not. | Session to 1 year |
Measurement
These count visits. They are the ones you may want to refuse, and refusing them costs you nothing.
| Cookie | Set by | What it does | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga | Google Analytics | Assigns a random id to a browser so repeat visits are not counted as new people. | 2 years |
_ga_* | Google Analytics | Keeps the state of the current visit. | 2 years |
Cookie names and lifetimes are set by those providers and can change without us being told. If you find one on this site that is not listed here, tell us and we will correct the page.
What we do not do
- No advertising or retargeting cookies. We do not run ads on this site and we do not feed ad networks.
- No social media tracking pixels.
- No selling or sharing of what analytics collects.
- No cookies that try to identify you by name.
How to control them
Every browser can block or delete cookies. In Chrome, Edge, Safari and Firefox the control is under Settings, then Privacy. Blocking the strictly necessary ones may make the site behave oddly. Blocking the measurement ones changes nothing you can see.
To opt out of Google Analytics everywhere, not just here, install Google's own opt-out browser add-on.
We do not currently show a cookie banner. We would rather tell you plainly on a page you can read than interrupt you with a dialog most people dismiss without reading. If you are in a place whose law requires prior consent for measurement cookies, use the browser controls or the add-on above and this site will still work.
