What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser when you visit a website. They serve various purposes including remembering your preferences, enabling site functionality, and helping site owners understand how visitors use their pages. Cookies may be set by the site you are visiting (first-party cookies) or by third-party services embedded in the site.
How We Use Cookies
This website uses a limited number of cookies. We do not use cookies for advertising, retargeting, or personalised marketing. The cookies on this site fall into the following categories:
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the site to function. They may include cookies that record whether you have accepted or declined non-essential cookies via our cookie notice. These cookies do not collect personal information and cannot be disabled without affecting site functionality.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| cookie_consent | Records your cookie preferences so the consent notice is not shown repeatedly | 12 months | First-party |
Analytics Cookies
We may use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with the site — which pages are visited most, how long people spend reading, and where they arrive from. This data is collected in aggregate and is not used to identify individual visitors. Analytics cookies are only set if you consent to them via the cookie notice.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Distinguishes unique visitors for aggregate traffic reporting | 2 years | Third-party (Google Analytics) |
| _ga_* | Maintains session state for analytics | 2 years | Third-party (Google Analytics) |
If analytics are active on this site, we use settings that anonymise IP addresses and disable data sharing with other Google products. We do not enable demographic or interest-based reporting.
Third-Party Cookies
When you load this site, your browser may make requests to third-party servers to retrieve web fonts. Google Fonts, which we use for typography, may set cookies or collect connection data as described in Google’s privacy policy. We do not control these cookies.
If you click on a link to an external website — including bookmaker sites — that site may set its own cookies. We have no control over cookies set by third-party websites. Please review their individual cookie policies.
Cookies We Do Not Use
For clarity, this site does not use:
- Advertising or retargeting cookies
- Social media tracking pixels
- Cookies that build behavioural profiles across websites
- Cookies linked to user accounts (there are no accounts on this site)

Under the UK GDPR and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), you have the right to refuse non-essential cookies.
