9. Cookies and analytics

This website does not use cookies.

We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to see how the site is being used. It sets no cookies and stores nothing on your device.

We see only aggregate figures:

These are aggregated so that no individual visitor can be identified, including by us. IP addresses are anonymised at the point of counting and are not stored.

Because no cookies are set, we do not need your consent for analytics under the UK PECR or UK GDPR.

If we ever adopt an analytics or advertising tool that does use cookies, we will
revise this section and put a consent mechanism in place first.

10. How we protect it

  1. Access is limited to what the work requires
  2. Traffic is encrypted with SSL/TLS
  3. The devices and accounts used for the business have two-factor authentication
  4. Identity documents are deleted as soon as verification is complete

11. Changes to this policy

We may change this policy. If we change anything significant, we will post it on this website.
