Cookies
We use cookies to make this website work better for you – and to understand how people use it so we can keep improving. Here’s what that means.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help personalise your experience – like keeping you logged in, remembering your settings, or showing the right content.
There are two main types:
-
Session cookies: only last while your browser is open. They disappear once you close it.
-
Persistent cookies: stay on your device for a set time or until you clear them. They help us recognise you when you come back.
Essential cookies
These are needed for the website to function properly – things like logging in, saving preferences, or managing user sessions.
Set by WordPress (our CMS):
-
catAccCookies– remembers your cookie preferences (30 days) -
wordpress_test_cookie– checks browser support (session) -
wordpress_#,wordpress_logged_in_#,wordpress_sec_#– manage logins (session / 2 weeks) -
wp-settings-#,wp-settings-time-#,wp-saving-post– user display and admin preferences (session)
Set by Divi (our editor):
These support admin content editing and previews. Cookies like:
-
et-editor-available-post-[ID]-bb -
et-editing-post-[ID]-bb -
et-saved-post-[ID]-bb -
et-recommend-sync-post-[ID]-bb
All are low intrusion and temporary.

These help us understand how you use the site – so we can make it better. They don’t identify you personally.
