What cookies are

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They can be essential for basic functions or optional for measurement and preferences.

How we use cookies

We use essential cookies to remember your cookie consent choice and keep the site reliable. Optional analytics cookies help us understand aggregate traffic patterns. Analytics cookies are set only if you choose Accept on the consent banner. Rejecting optional cookies does not block consultations, forms, or reading content.

Managing cookies

Use the banner choices on first visit. You can clear site data in your browser to see the banner again. Browser settings also let you block or delete cookies; blocking all cookies may affect preference storage.

Third-party cookies

If you accept analytics, third-party providers may set cookies subject to their own policies. Embedded images from external hosts may result in network requests to those hosts; they are not used here as advertising trackers.

Impact of disabling

Disabling optional analytics does not remove access to pathway information, forms, or contact details. Disabling all storage may mean the consent banner reappears each visit.
