1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They're widely used to make websites work, or work better, and to provide reporting information. We use the term “cookies” loosely to also cover similar technologies like local storage, session storage and pixels.
2. Categories we use
We group cookies and similar technologies into three categories. Strictly-necessary cookies are always on. Analytics and marketing only run with your consent.
Strictly necessary
Required to deliver the site. Without these, parts of the site would not work properly. We rely on legitimate interests for these because they are essential to providing a service you asked for.
Analytics (optional)
Help us understand how the site is used so we can make it better. They count visits, see which pages are most popular and spot problems. We rely on your consent for these.
Marketing (optional)
Used to measure advertising effectiveness and to show relevant messages on other sites. We don't set any marketing cookies right now but reserve this category for future use. When we do, we'll only set them with your consent.
3. Cookies and storage we currently use
The site uses a small number of strictly-necessary items. We do not currently set analytics or marketing cookies, but the consent banner gives you control if and when we do.
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| tcr_cookie_consent | localStorage / Strictly necessary | Remembers your cookie consent choices so we don't show you the banner every visit. | 12 months |
| tcr_earlylist_popup_seen_at | localStorage / Strictly necessary | Remembers when the early-list popup was last shown so we don't show it more than once every 48 hours. | 48 hours |
This list will be updated when new cookies are introduced.
4. Managing your choices
You can change your consent at any time. The simplest way is to clear your browser's site data for this site, which will cause the cookie banner to reappear next time you visit.
You can also manage cookies in your browser settings:
Note: blocking strictly-necessary cookies will mean parts of the site no longer work as expected.
5. Do Not Track
Some browsers send a “Do Not Track” signal. Because there is no agreed industry standard for how to interpret this signal, we currently rely on the explicit choices you make in our cookie banner instead.
6. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when we add or remove cookies, or when guidance from regulators changes. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last revised.
