Your choice

When you first visit, we ask whether you're happy for us to use Google Analytics. We remember your answer in your browser for six months, then ask again. You can change it at any time.

Analytics (only if you accept)

We use Google Analytics to count visits and see which pages people find useful, so we can improve the site. It sets cookies named _ga and _ga_… on this site that last up to 13 months. We have turned off Google's advertising features: no advertising cookies, no ad personalization, and no Google signals. If you reject analytics, Google Analytics does not load and sets no cookies. If you accepted before and then reject, we delete those cookies.

What the site needs to work

  • Your cookie choice is saved in your browser's local storage on this site. It isn't sent to us or anyone else.
  • The contact form uses Cloudflare Turnstile to block spam. It runs only to check that a message comes from a person.

Content from other services

  • Videos on Vimeo are embedded with Vimeo's "do not track" setting, which stops the player from setting tracking cookies.
  • "Just Ask a Question" videos are provided by JAAQ. JAAQ's own privacy policy applies to its player.
  • Fonts are loaded from Google Fonts, which sets no cookies. As with any web request, your browser shares its IP address with Google to download them.
