Effective date: 19 October 2026. This page explains what cookies are, which ones this website uses and how you can control them. Please read it together with our Privacy Policy.
What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your device. Websites use cookies to work properly and to remember your choices. Some websites also use them to measure visits or to show advertising.
Cookies we use
We do not use advertising, tracking or analytics cookies. The website uses only the cookies that WordPress, the software it runs on, needs for these two things:
- Comment cookies (names start with
comment_author_): they are set only if you tick the box to save your name, e-mail address and website in your browser when you write a comment on an article. They save you from typing the details again, and they last up to one year. - Staff sign-in cookies (names start with
wordpress_andwp-settings-): they are set only for our own staff when they sign in to the administration area. Visitors do not receive them.
If you do not comment on an article, the website does not need to store any cookie on your device. We do not store other information in your browser for tracking.
Third-party content
- The Contact page shows a Google Maps map. When that page loads, the map is delivered by Google, which can set its own cookies or read its cookies on your device. Google handles that data under its own cookie and privacy policies.
- The WhatsApp, phone, e-mail and social media buttons only connect to those services when you click them.
How to manage cookies
Most browsers let you see, block and delete cookies in their settings. You can also block cookies from one website only. The website works without cookies; if you block them, the only difference is that your comment details will not be remembered. Because we use only the cookies the website needs, it does not show a cookie banner.
Changes to this policy
We will update this page if we start to use other cookies, for example for analytics. The effective date at the top shows when it was last changed.
