Cookie Policy
Which cookies this site uses, what each one does, and how to change your choice at any time.
Last updated: October 2026
This page explains which cookies this site uses, what each one does, and how to change your mind. It is the detail behind the banner you saw on your first visit.
The short version
We use one cookie that is necessary for the site to function, and it records your cookie choice. Google Analytics runs on every visit to show us which pages are useful. For visitors in the EU, the UK and Switzerland it runs without analytics cookies until you accept them.
Necessary cookies
These cannot be switched off, because the site cannot work correctly without them.
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
biisensing_consent | Remembers whether you accepted or declined analytics cookies, so you are not asked on every page. | 6 months |
WordPress may also set short-lived cookies if you log in to the site’s administration area. Those apply to our own staff, not to visitors.
Analytics cookies
For visitors in the EU, the UK and Switzerland, these are only set if you accept them; until then Google Analytics counts the visit without storing anything in your browser. Everywhere else they are set on every visit.
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga | Google Analytics | Distinguishes one visitor from another so visit counts are not inflated. | 2 years |
_ga_* | Google Analytics | Keeps the state of the current session. | 2 years |
We use this to understand which pages people find useful and where they arrive from. We do not use it for advertising and we do not build profiles of individual visitors.
What we do not use
We want to be specific, because most cookie policies are not. This site sets no advertising cookies, no social media tracking pixels, and no third-party marketing tags. The fonts and the JavaScript libraries the site depends on are served from our own domain rather than a public CDN. The only third party a page contacts is Google Analytics, described above.
Changing your mind
Select Cookie settings in the footer of any page to bring the choice back. You can also delete cookies through your browser at any time, which will make the banner appear again on your next visit.
Blocking cookies through your browser settings works too, and will not stop the site from working.
