Matamo

We use Matamo to provide privacy-first, cookieless analytics.

There may still be a few essential cookies created in specific cases:

  • when you exclude yourself from being tracked using the cookie method or using the opt-out method on this page, Matomo will create a cookie piwik_ignore set on the domain of your Matomo server (a temporary short-lived cookie called MATOMO_SESSID will also be created.)
  • when you’re giving consent, two cookies may be created: mtm_consent and mtm_consent_removed.
  • _pk_testcookie is also created without any identifier and is directly deleted (it is only used to check whether the visitor’s browser supports cookies.)

YouTube

The website uses YouTube's more privacy-friendly youtube-nocookies.com domain to embed videos on the website.

However this still utilises some local storage to function and adds cookies when a video is played. Therefore we have a separate and dedicated prompt (at the point of viewing a video) advising users of this to seek their specific consent when they first come across video content. This ensures thatan informed choice can be made.

  • __Secure-3PAPISID
  • __Secure-3PSID
  • SID
