Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device. They're used for things like keeping a site working properly, remembering your preferences, and — on many sites — tracking how people use the site or showing them adverts.
"Similar technologies" means other ways of storing or reading information on your device, such as local storage and tracking pixels. Where this notice says "cookies", it covers those too.
This website is built and hosted using Google Sites, a service provided by Google. It's a simple information site: there's no contact form, mailing list, shop, login or booking system.
This site only uses strictly necessary cookies. These are set by Google as part of hosting and delivering the site, and they do things like:
keeping the site secure and protecting against abuse
remembering technical display preferences, such as your language
making sure pages load correctly
These cookies don't track you across other websites and aren't used to build a profile of you.
Strictly necessary cookies are exempt from the consent rules in the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), so you won't see a cookie banner on this site. You can still block or delete them through your browser — see below — although parts of the site may not work properly if you do.
Whatever you choose here, you can manage cookies directly in your browser. Most browsers let you block all cookies, block third-party cookies only, delete cookies when you close the browser, or clear cookies for a specific site.
The relevant settings are usually under Settings → Privacy. Instructions for each browser:
Chrome: support.google.com/chrome/answer/95647
Safari: support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/safari/sfri11471/mac
Firefox: support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/cookies-information-websites-store-on-your-computer
Edge: support.microsoft.com/en-gb/microsoft-edge
Blocking all cookies will affect how most websites behave, not just this one.
How I handle personal information generally is set out in my Privacy Notice.
