1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember settings, keep services secure, and understand how people use content.
2. Our approach to consent
We use a consent banner with two choices: Accept all or Decline all. Optional analytics and advertising cookies are disabled by default and only enabled if you actively choose Accept all.
You can change your preference at any time using the Cookie settings link in the footer.
3. Cookies we use
| Category | Purpose | Examples | Consent required |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Security, authentication, and remembering your consent choice. | payload-token (admin sessions), cp_consent_v1 | No |
| Analytics | Measure site usage and improve content and performance. | _ga, _ga_*, _gid, _gcl_au | Yes |
| Marketing | Ad measurement, attribution, and audience building. | _gcl_aw, _gcl_dc, _fbp, _fbc, li_fat_id, bcookie, lidc | Yes |
4. Third-party technologies
We use Google Tag Manager (GTM) to manage website tags. Depending on your consent choice, this may include Google Analytics and, when enabled, advertising tags such as Google Ads, Meta Pixel, and LinkedIn Insight Tag.
5. Google Consent Mode v2
We implement Google Consent Mode v2 so ad and analytics storage is denied by default and only updated when you provide consent. This supports UK and EU privacy requirements and helps prevent optional cookies from running before consent.
6. How to manage cookies
- Use Cookie settings in our footer to re-open the banner and update your choice.
- Adjust browser settings to block or delete cookies.
- Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect core site functionality.
