What cookies are

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. Similar technologies include localStorage entries used to remember preferences such as cookie consent.

How we use them

We use essential storage to remember your cookie choice and to keep basic site functions working. Optional analytics cookies, if accepted, help us understand which pages are read. Rejecting optional cookies does not block access to consultations information or the contact form.

Essential consent storage is always required for the banner to honour your choice. Analytics cookies listed above are not set when you select Reject. If analytics are not active on a given deployment, those rows simply do not apply until enabled.

Managing cookies

Use the Accept or Reject buttons on our banner on first visit. You can clear localStorage and cookies in your browser settings to see the banner again. Browser controls also let you block third-party cookies.

Third-party cookies

If analytics are enabled after consent, Google may process data according to its own policies. Embedded fonts from Google Fonts are requested by your browser when pages load; that request is separate from our consent banner’s analytics choice.

Impact of disabling

Blocking essential storage may cause the cookie banner to reappear. Blocking analytics only reduces our ability to see aggregate traffic; site content and forms continue to work.
