Legal & site information

Cookie Policy

This policy explains how this website uses cookies and similar technologies, what they do, and how you can control them.

The site is operated by Maplewood Partners Limited, registered in England and Wales under company number 14850732, with its registered office at 4 Bridge Avenue, Earley, Reading, England.

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognise your browser on a return visit, or to remember a preference you have set. A cookie does not run programs on your device and does not carry information that identifies you by name on its own.

Some cookies are necessary for the site to work. Others are optional and are used only where permitted. When a cookie is described as optional in this policy, it means the site can still be browsed without it, even if the experience changes in small ways.

Cookies we use

The site uses three groups of cookies. Each group has a different job, and each one is treated differently when it comes to your choices.

Strictly necessary

Strictly necessary cookies support core functions such as page navigation, security, and remembering your cookie choices. The site cannot operate correctly without these.

These are set when the site is loaded and are not switched off by a preference choice.

Analytics

Analytics cookies, where used, help us understand which pages are visited and how visitors move through the site. They do not identify you personally.

These are optional. If you decline them, the site keeps working as normal and only aggregated counts are lost.

Preference

Preference cookies, where used, remember settings you have chosen so you do not have to set them again.

These are optional as well. Clearing them means the site may ask for the same choice again on your next visit.

Third-party cookies

Where the site embeds content or uses a third-party service, that provider may set its own cookies. Those cookies are governed by the provider's own policy, not by this one.

We do not control third-party cookies and recommend reviewing the relevant provider's policy if you want detail on what they collect.

In practice, third-party cookies on this site would only appear where a service is embedded on a page. Blocking them in your browser stops the provider from recognising your device across sites, and the page content itself still loads.

Managing cookies in your browser

You stay in control of what is stored on your device.

Most browsers allow you to view, block, or delete cookies through their settings. Blocking all cookies may affect how parts of this site function. Where a browser offers separate controls for first-party and third-party cookies, the third-party setting covers the embedded services described above.

Instructions for the browser you use are available from the browser vendor's help pages. On mobile devices the same controls usually sit under the browser's privacy or site settings menu.

View stored cookies

Your browser lists the cookies currently held for a site, usually with the site address and an expiry date.

Block a category

Third-party or tracking cookies can often be blocked in bulk without affecting page navigation.

Delete existing cookies

Clearing site data removes stored choices, so the site may ask for your cookie preference again.

Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated if the cookies used on the site change or if applicable guidance changes. The version published on this page is the current one.

Material changes take effect when the updated text appears here. If you keep using the site after that point, the revised policy applies to your visit.
