Cookie Policy
Last updated 23 September 2026
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to improve efficiency, and to provide information to the site's owners. Similar technologies such as pixels and local storage perform comparable functions, and are covered by this policy.
2. How we use cookies
We keep our use of cookies deliberately minimal. We use two categories:
- Essential. Necessary for the Site to function and to remember your cookie preferences. They cannot be switched off in our systems and do not require consent.
- Analytics. With your consent, these help us understand, on an aggregated and anonymised basis, how visitors use the Site so that we can improve it. They are only set if you accept them.
3. Cookies we use
The table below lists the cookies and similar storage this Site may set:
| Name | Provider | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| wp_consent | Whitmore Partners (first-party) | Essential | Stores your cookie consent choice so the banner is not shown again. | 12 months |
| _ga | Google Analytics (third-party) | Analytics | Distinguishes unique visitors to measure Site usage. Set only if you accept analytics. | 24 months |
| _ga_<id> | Google Analytics (third-party) | Analytics | Persists session state for aggregated usage statistics. Set only if you accept analytics. | 24 months |
4. Managing your preferences
When you first visit the Site, a banner lets you accept all cookies or reject non-essential ones. Your choice is stored so we can respect it on future visits. You can change your mind at any time by clearing your browser's site data, which will cause the banner to appear again.
5. Managing cookies in your browser
Most browsers also let you view, block or delete cookies through their settings. Please note that blocking essential cookies may affect how the Site works. Here is where to find those controls in the major browsers:
- Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Third-party cookies. See Chrome cookie help.
- Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data. See Firefox cookie help.
- Apple Safari: Settings → Privacy → Manage Website Data. See Safari cookie help.
- Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies and site data. See Edge cookie help.
6. Third-party cookies
Any analytics cookies we use are provided by third-party services acting on our behalf, and are only set with your consent. We do not use cookies for advertising or to sell your personal information.
7. Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. The version in force is the one published on this page, with the latest revision date shown above.
