This page explains which cookies this website uses and how you can control them. It sits alongside our privacy policy, which covers personal data more broadly.
What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file that a website asks your browser to store. Some are strictly necessary for a site to work at all; others measure how a site is used or support marketing. Under EU rules, anything beyond strictly necessary cookies requires your consent before it is set.
Cookies this site uses
This site is deliberately light. It loads no external fonts, no advertising scripts and no social media trackers. In its default state it sets only the following:
| Cookie | Purpose | Type | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| wordpress_logged_in_* | Keeps a signed-in administrator or editor logged in. Never set for ordinary visitors. | Strictly necessary | Session, or 14 days if “remember me” is used |
| wp-settings-* | Remembers admin screen preferences for signed-in users. | Strictly necessary | 1 year |
| PHPSESSID | Set by the server on some hosts to maintain a session. | Strictly necessary | Session |
If we later add analytics, a booking widget or embedded video, this page will be updated to list those cookies before they are switched on, and a consent banner will ask your permission first.
Managing cookies
You can delete or block cookies through your browser settings — every major browser offers this under privacy or site settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies will not stop you reading this site, but it may prevent an administrator from staying signed in.
Questions
