Cookie notice
What cookies are, the cookies this website uses, and how you can control them.
Last updated 28 September 2026
Strictly necessary
When you choose Accept all, Reject optional or Save preferences, we store your choice in a cookie so that we can respect it on every page and do not have to ask again each time. Nothing is stored before you make a choice.
- Name: archives_consent
- Set by: this website (a first-party cookie)
- Purpose: remembering your choice for each optional category
- What it contains: whether Analytics and Marketing are on or off, which option you chose, when you chose it, and the version of our consent settings. It does not contain your name, email address or any identifier for you or your device.
- How long it lasts: 180 days (about six months). After that, or if we change the categories or the technologies in them, we will ask you again.
This cookie is strictly necessary: without it we could not remember or respect your choice, including a decision to reject optional technologies. It cannot be switched off in the preferences, but you can delete it through your browser at any time — we will then ask you again.
Analytics
Optional, and off unless you turn it on. We use Google Analytics 4, provided by Google, to measure how the website is used — its traffic, how visitors engage with it, and whether they go on to contact us — so that we can improve it.
Google Analytics loads only after you turn Analytics on. Until then, nothing is sent to Google. We have set it up without advertising features: advertising storage and ad personalisation are switched off, and so are Google signals.
When it runs, Google Analytics sets these cookies:
- _ga — distinguishes visitors. Up to 2 years, or less where your browser limits how long cookies last.
- _ga_P7NZSW77MP — keeps track of your visit. Up to 2 years, or less where your browser limits how long cookies last.
For how Google uses information from websites that use its services, see Google’s explanation (opens in a new tab).
Marketing
Optional, and off unless you turn it on. Marketing technologies may be used for marketing, advertising or similar purposes.
No marketing technologies are currently active. If we introduce any, we will list each one here before it is used, and it will only run if you have turned Marketing on.
Changing or withdrawing your choice
You can change your choice at any time — turning each optional category on or off, or rejecting all of them — through , which is also at the bottom of every page.
If you withdraw consent, optional technologies in that category stop being used from then on, and any cookies or similar data they stored in your browser are removed where technically possible. If you turn Analytics off, Google Analytics stops and its cookies are removed from your browser. Withdrawing consent does not affect what was done while it was given.
How to control cookies in your browser
You can also view, block and delete cookies through your browser settings. Each browser explains how in its help pages. Blocking all cookies may affect how some websites work, and if you block the cookie above we will not be able to remember your privacy choices.
