What cookies are
Cookies are small files placed on your device when you visit a website. Some are needed to make the site work; others help us understand how the site is used, or measure whether our advertising reaches the right people.
The cookies we use
Essential. We set one cookie of our own, mages_consent, to remember your cookie choices for up to 12 months. Our website host, Cloudflare, may also set security cookies that protect the site and its forms from abuse. These cannot be turned off.
Analytics. Google Analytics, which tells us which pages people visit, how long they stay and how they found us, so we can make the site more useful. These are only set if you agree.
Advertising. The Meta pixel, which measures whether people who see our advertising on Facebook or Instagram go on to visit the site. These are only set if you agree.
