Cookies we use

Cookies are small files stored on your device when you visit a website. We keep this to a minimum: by default this site sets a single record of your cookie choice, stored in your browser's local storage, and nothing else.

We use Fathom Analytics (usefathom.com) for website statistics. Fathom sets no cookies and uses no similar tracking technology. It counts page views, referring sites, device types and countries using a site-specific, hashed visitor signature, so it cannot identify you personally or follow you across other websites. The standard request data your browser sends with any visit (IP address and browser string) is anonymised on arrival, and the identifiers Fathom stores are kept in pseudo-anonymised form for around 48 hours. Fathom describes its handling of data at usefathom.com/data.

Embedded videos are served from YouTube's no-cookie domain and request nothing until you press play.

Our newsletter sign-up is processed on our server and sent to Mailchimp, which handles the confirmation email. That form sets no cookies on this site.

Necessary

Required for basic site functionality: remembering your cookie choice so we do not ask again on every visit. This is always active and cannot be switched off.

Analytics (Fathom)

Website statistics from Fathom Analytics. Fathom stores nothing in your browser and sets no cookies, which is why it does not appear in the cookie table below.

Embedded video (YouTube)

Video embeds use youtube-nocookie.com and only load once you press play. Until then nothing is requested from YouTube. When you start a video, YouTube may store data in your browser under its own privacy policy.
