Overview
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They perform a variety of functions, such as enabling core site features, remembering user preferences, and helping us understand how visitors interact with the site.
The Site uses:
- Core WordPress cookies for authentication and preference storage (e.g.,
wordpress_logged_in_[hash]) - Cookie Yes (GDPR Cookie Consent) to obtain, record, and manage user consent (
cookieyes-consent, category checkboxes) - Wordfence Security cookies for firewall and login-protection (
wfwaf-authcookie-[hash],wf_loginalerted_[hash],wfCBLBypass) - Kadence Conversions cookies to control the display frequency of pop-ups (
kadence_conversions_preview,kadence_conversions_[id]) - FluentCRM cookies for email-marketing attribution when a subscriber interacts with our links (
fluentcrm_contact,fluentcrm_subscriber_hash)* - First-party performance cookies set by Breeze page-cache to optimise speed (
breeze_cache_logged_in)* - First-party functional cookies created by EWWW Image Optimizer, OMGF, and Enable SVG Upload to remember plugin preferences*
(*these cookies do not contain personally identifiable information but are included here for transparency.)
There is no advertising, retargeting, or payment-processing on the Site. Social-media icons are simple outbound links; they do not embed tracking scripts.

Your Consent Choices
When you first visit the Site, a banner from Cookie Yes asks you to:
- Accept all cookies
- Reject non-essential cookies
- Customise individual categories
The banner appears only after your first page-load because strictly-necessary cookies (marked above) are exempt from prior consent under PECR.
You can adjust or withdraw consent at any time by clicking the floating “Cookie Settings” button in the lower-left corner of every page.
Browser Controls
Alternatively, you may disable or delete cookies via your browser settings. Below are quick links to instructions for popular browsers:
- Chrome
- Firefox
- Edge
- Safari
- Brave
Blocking non-essential cookies will not affect core site functions (reading pages, using the contact form) but may disable pop-up modals and email-sign-up attribution.
Cookie Retention & Renewal
- Non-essential consent is renewed every 6 months to comply with CNIL/IAB best practice.
- Authentication cookies expire after 48 hours (session) or 14 days if “Remember Me” is ticked.
- Wordfence and FluentCRM cookies expire automatically as indicated in the table or when consent is withdrawn.
Monthly automated scans via Cookie Yes detect new cookies and update our records.
Third-Party Integrations
We display plain outbound links (no embedded scripts) to:
- Twitter (X)
Clicking these links directs you to the respective platform, which may set its own cookies; those are outside our control. We recommend reviewing each provider’s cookie notice for details.
Managing Email-Marketing Cookies
FluentCRM’s first-party attribution cookies are set only after you opt-in to our mailing list (double-opt-in enabled). You may disable them without unsubscribing by:
- Clicking the “manage preferences” link in any campaign email
- Unchecking “allow site tracking”
- Saving changes
FluentCRM honours the fluent_crm/will_use_cookie filter; if you block analytics cookies from the banner, no new FluentCRM cookies will be written.
Your Rights
You have the right to:
- Request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal data we process via cookies
- Withdraw consent at any time
- Lodge a complaint with the ICO (UK) if you believe we handle your data unlawfully
To exercise these rights, email: [email protected].
Changes to This Policy
Material changes (e.g., new cookie categories, analytics tools, or legal requirements) will be highlighted for at least 30 days in a notification banner. Archived versions remain available upon request.
