Cookie Policy

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device when you visit them. They help websites work properly, remember your preferences, and provide information about how visitors use the site.

This policy explains which cookies my website uses and how you can manage them.

Cookies I use:

Essential Cookies:

These cookies are necessary for my website to function correctly. They enable basic features such as page navigation. My website cannot function properly without these cookies, so they are placed automatically and do not require your consent.

My website is built on Webador, which sets essential cookies to enable core website functionality.

Statistical and Analytics Cookies

I use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with my website. This helps me improve my site and the information I provide. Google Analytics sets cookies that collect anonymised data about which pages you visit, which country you are located in, and how you found me.

Under the Data Use and Access Act 2025, statistical cookies no longer require your prior consent. However, you do have the right to opt out at any time without this affecting how the website works for you.

You can opt out by:

Adjusting your browser settings to block these cookies.
Using Google’s opt-out browser add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
Enabling “Do Not Track” in your browser.

Advertising and Tracking Cookies

I do not use advertising or tracking cookies on my website.

Third-party Cookies

Cookies may be set by the following third-party services I use:

Google Analytics – sets cookies to collect anonymised website useage statistics.
Webador – sets cookies as part of website hosting functionality

Each of these providers has their own privacy and cookie policies explaining how they handle data. You can find these on their respective websites.

Cookie consent Tool

I do not currently use a cookie consent pop-up tool on my website.

Because I only use essential cookies and statistical cookies (which no longer require consent under the DUAA 2025), a consent tool is not legally required.

You can manage all cookies through your browser settings.

How to opt out or manage cookies

You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

Please be aware that blocking all cookies may affect how websites function. Blocking only statistical cookies will not affect your use of this website.

For detailed instructions on managing cookies in different browsers, visit www.aboutcookies.org which provides guidance for all major browsers.

Your rights

You have the right to opt out of statistical cookies at any time. Doing so will not affect how this website works for you or your ability to access any information of services.
