Cookie policy

This website only uses essential cookies and browser storage - the small files and settings it needs to work. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies, and we do not share anything stored here with anyone else. We count visits without cookies, as explained below.

What we store

Cookies are small files saved by your browser. Local storage is a similar store of settings that stays on your device and is never sent to us. Because these are essential for the site to work as you would expect, we do not need to ask for your consent before using them.

Only for our team

These are only set for people who review or edit the website. Visitors never get them.

Counting visits

We use Vercel Web Analytics to count how many people visit and which pages they use, so we can see what helps. It does not use cookies or store anything on your device. It records the page, the site that sent you, your browser, device type and country, but not who you are. Visits are grouped using a code made from your request that is discarded after 24 hours, so you cannot be followed across days or other websites.

Other websites

We link to other sites, such as Instagram, Facebook, Enhance-d and conference booking pages. They have their own cookie policies, which apply once you leave this site.

Controlling cookies

You can block or delete cookies and site data in your browser’s settings. The site will still work, but it will forget your choices - for example, you will see the education notice again.
