A lightweight cookie statement for the rebuilt site.
The new build is designed to stay lean. If you add analytics or embeds later, update this page to match the tools in use.
The site is currently built to avoid unnecessary tracking. If you add analytics, embeds, or third-party widgets later, they may set cookies or use similar storage.
Keep this page current with the tools you actually run on the site, not the tools you once had in the old build.
Keeping the notice accurate
A cookie notice should describe what the site actually uses. Essential hosting functions may support delivery, security, navigation, or session behaviour. Analytics, advertising pixels, video players, social embeds, and newsletter tools can introduce additional storage or identifiers and should be listed when they are added.
Visitors should be told the purpose of each non-essential technology, the provider involved, the retention period where known, and the available control or withdrawal route. Removing a tool from the site should also remove its description from this page.
The current statement is intentionally cautious because the final tracking and consent configuration has not been supplied. It should receive a legal and technical review before the publication relies on it.
