Cookie Policy
Last updated 9 August 2026
What We Use
| Cookie | What it does | How long it lasts | Do we need your permission? |
|---|---|---|---|
ydgp_consent | Remembers your cookie choice, so we stop asking. It holds one word, either granted or denied | 1 year | No. Without it we could not remember that you said no |
_ga | Google Analytics. Tells us how many people visit the site and which pages they read, so we can improve them. It does not identify you personally | 13 months | Yes. Nothing is set unless you accept |
_ga_8XYHHF45QT | Google Analytics. Recognises a single visit, so reading five pages in one sitting is not counted as five visitors | 13 months | Yes. Nothing is set unless you accept |
We do not use advertising cookies, tracking pixels or anything that follows you around other websites.
Changing Your Mind
You can change your cookie choice at any time using the Cookie settings link at the bottom of every page. You can also delete cookies through your browser settings, though that will mean we ask you again next time.
If you change your mind and say no, we do not just stop using the analytics cookies. We delete them. Google does not require that, but we would rather not leave anything on your device that you have told us you do not want.
