3. Consent and your choices
​
Under UK law (PECR, as amended by the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025), strictly necessary and certain low-risk functional and analytics cookies can be used without consent, while other cookies, including those used for advertising or shared with third parties for advertising, require your consent.
​
Note on analytics: from 5 February 2026, cookies used solely for statistical/analytics purposes where the data is used only by the website operator are exempt from consent. Because Google Analytics involves a third party, we take a cautious approach and ask for your consent before setting analytics cookies / rely on the analytics exemption, confirm which applies to your setup. You can always opt out free of charge.
​
When you first visit our website you will see a cookie banner allowing you to accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can change your choices at any time via the “Cookie settings” link in the footer.
