Cookie policy
Every cookie this site can set, and what each one is for.
Cookies are small files stored by your browser. We use as few as we can get away with. Nothing non-essential is set unless you accept it.
| Cookie | Purpose | Type | Lasts |
|---|---|---|---|
| ld_session | Keeps you signed in. Without it you would have to log in on every page. | Essential | 30 days |
| ld_consent | Remembers your cookie choices so we do not ask again on every visit. | Essential | 12 months |
| _ga, _ga_* | Google Analytics. Tells us which pages people use, so we know what to improve. Only set if you accept analytics cookies. | Analytics | 13 months |
| __stripe_mid, __stripe_sid | Set by Stripe during checkout to detect fraud. Only set when you are paying. | Essential | 1 year / 30 minutes |
Essential vs analytics
Essential cookies make the site work — staying signed in, remembering your consent choice, and Stripe's fraud checks during payment. These do not require consent because the site cannot function without them.
Analytics cookies are optional. They tell us which pages get used and where people give up, which is how we decide what to fix. Declining them changes nothing about how the site works for you.
Controlling cookies
You can change your choice at any time using the cookie settings link in the footer. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings, though blocking essential cookies will stop you being able to sign in.
