This policy explains what cookies are, which ones this website uses, and how you can control them. It works alongside our privacy policy.

What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They let a site remember things about your visit, help it work properly, and help its owners understand how it is used. Some cookies are set by us, and some by third parties such as our analytics and advertising partners.
The cookies we use
We group the cookies on this site into the following categories.
| Type | What it does | Consent needed? |
|---|---|---|
| Essential | Makes the site work, such as remembering your cookie choices and keeping the site secure. | No |
| Analytics | Helps us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it, for example [Google Analytics]. | Yes |
| Advertising | Used by our advertising partner [e.g. Google AdSense / Ezoic / Raptive] to show ads that fund the site. | Yes |
Your consent
When you first visit the site, you are shown a cookie banner. Essential cookies are always on because the site cannot work without them. Analytics and advertising cookies are only set if you agree to them. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time using [your cookie settings link or banner].
Managing cookies in your browser
You can also control cookies through your browser settings, including blocking or deleting them. Each browser handles this differently, and the help pages for Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Edge explain how. Please note that blocking some cookies may affect how the site works.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the cookies we use change. When we do, we will update the “last updated” date above.
Note for the site owner (delete before publishing): Template only, not legal advice. UK law requires a consent banner for the non-essential cookies above, not just this page. The simplest compliant route is a consent plugin that shows the banner and keeps this list accurate automatically. Edit every bracket to match your real setup.
