Manage settings

Necessary

Always on

Needed for the site to function, remember consent choices, and keep core interactions secure.

Preferences

Default off

Used to remember optional choices such as display or interface preferences if we introduce them.

Analytics

Default off

Would be used to measure traffic and improve the site. Analytics should not load unless you opt in.

Marketing

Default off

Used for advertising, remarketing, tracking pixels, or embedded marketing tools. These remain blocked unless you accept all or enable them explicitly.

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small files or similar storage technologies placed on your device when you visit a website. They can help a site function, remember choices, measure performance, or support marketing activity.

2. How consent works on this website

Only strictly necessary storage is active by default.
Preferences, analytics, and marketing categories are disabled until you consent.
You can reject non-essential technologies, accept all, or customise your choices.
You can reopen your preferences at any time using the manage cookies controls on the site.

3. Current first-party storage used

We currently use a first-party consent record to remember your choice. This is treated as necessary because without it the site cannot remember your privacy settings.

Name Category Duration Purpose

gc_cookie_preferences

Necessary

180 days

Stores your consent settings so the site can respect your decision and suppress optional categories until you change them.

4. Third-party services

If analytics or marketing services are added in the future, they should only load once the relevant consent category has been enabled. This policy should be reviewed whenever new third-party tools are introduced.

5. Changing or withdrawing consent

You can update your choice at any time. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before it was withdrawn, but it should stop future optional technologies from loading on subsequent visits.
