In short

What cookies does this website use?

Strictly necessary cookies that keep the site working — session management and cross-site request forgery protection — which do not require consent, and analytics cookies which are set only if you accept them in the cookie banner. We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.

Strictly necessary cookies

These are required for the website to function and are set without consent, as permitted by the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations. They include a session cookie that keeps you signed in to the client portal, and a cross-site request forgery token that protects forms from being submitted by a third-party site on your behalf.

We also store your cookie preference itself, so the banner does not reappear on every page. Blocking these cookies will prevent parts of the site from working.

  • sessionid — keeps you signed in to the client portal
  • csrftoken — protects forms against cross-site request forgery
  • ck_cookie_consent — remembers the choice you made in the banner

Analytics cookies

If you accept analytics in the banner, we set cookies that help us understand which pages are useful and where people get stuck. This data is aggregated and is used to improve the site, not to build a profile of you.

If you decline, no analytics cookies are set and no analytics scripts are loaded. The site works identically either way.

How to control cookies

You can change your choice at any time using the cookie banner, and you can clear or block cookies in your browser settings. Every major browser lets you delete existing cookies, block cookies from specific sites, or block all cookies — though the last of those will break the sign-in on many websites, not just ours.

For guidance on managing cookies in your specific browser, see the help pages for Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari.

Frequently asked questions

Cookie Policy — your questions answered

Do you use advertising or tracking cookies?
No. We do not use advertising cookies, cross-site tracking or third-party advertising networks on this website.
Can I use the site if I decline all non-essential cookies?
Yes. Declining analytics changes nothing about how the site functions. Only the strictly necessary cookies are required, and those cannot be disabled without breaking sign-in and form submission.
How do I change my cookie choice later?
Use the cookie banner control, or clear cookies for this site in your browser and the banner will reappear so you can choose again.
