What cookies are

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember preferences or understand how pages are used. For how we handle personal data more broadly, see our Privacy Notice.

How we use cookies

We use essential cookies to remember your cookie preference and keep basic site functions working. We may use analytics cookies only if you choose Accept on the cookie banner. Rejecting analytics does not block access to consultations information, forms, or pages.

Exact analytics implementation may vary with hosting; optional analytics cookies are not set when you choose Reject.

Managing or disabling cookies

  • Use Accept or Reject on our banner — both are always available
  • Clear site data in your browser to reset the stored preference
  • Use browser controls to block or delete cookies globally or per site

Third-party cookies

Embedded fonts may be requested from Google Fonts; that request can expose your IP address to Google. We do not load third-party advertising cookies. Image URLs from public image hosts may be requested by your browser when a page displays those images.

Impact of disabling cookies

Essential preference storage may not persist, so the banner may reappear. Optional analytics will not run if you reject or block those cookies. Core content and the contact form remain available.
