Cookie Policy
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently and to provide information to the website owner. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and pixels.
Our legal basis
Under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR) and UK GDPR, we need your consent to place any non-essential cookies on your device. We only place strictly necessary cookies without consent — all other cookies are set only if you have opted in.

We do not use advertising cookies, social media tracking pixels, or cookies that build profiles of you across websites.
Third-party cookies
Our payment processor Stripe may set their own cookies when you make a payment. These are essential to the payment process and are governed by Stripe's own privacy and cookie policy.
If you use our analytics-enabled version, our analytics provider [e.g. Plausible / Fathom] may set a cookie. We have chosen these providers specifically because they do not share data with third-party advertisers and are privacy-focused.
