Cookie Notice
The public website does not use advertising, personalisation or analytics cookies.
Essential WordPress cookies
A clean request to a public page does not set a browser cookie. WordPress sets strictly necessary cookies on the sign-in screen and after an authorised member or administrator signs in. These support authentication, account security and interface preferences. They are not used for advertising.
| Technology | Purpose | Typical duration |
|---|---|---|
| WordPress test cookie | Checks whether the browser accepts cookies before sign-in. | Session |
| WordPress login cookies | Keep an authorised member signed in and protect access to account functions. | Session, or the selected remember-me period |
| WordPress preference cookies | Remember administrative interface preferences for signed-in users. | Up to one year |
Server-side security records
Hosting and security systems may retain short-lived records used to detect repeated failed sign-ins and form abuse. These are not browser cookies. Retention follows the configured hosting and security settings.
Cookieless audience measurement
Self-hosted Koko Analytics is configured in cookieless mode. It counts visits, page views, popular pages and referring websites without storing anything on your device or sharing information with a third-party analytics provider. A one-way visitor hash rotates daily and its temporary session records are cleared each day. Separate aggregate outcome counts record Partnerships-page visits, DOI clicks and successful enquiry categories without storing contact details or individual browsing histories.
No non-essential cookie banner
Because the public site does not set analytics, advertising or personalisation cookies, it does not display a consent banner. If non-essential cookies are added later, the site must provide clear information and appropriate choices before they are used.
