Cookie Policy
What cookies this website sets, what each one does, and how to control them.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website stores on your device. Some are needed for the site to work; others (which we do not use) would track you for analytics or advertising.
2. Cookies this website sets
| Cookie | Purpose | Category | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
| WM_admin_session | Keeps authorised staff signed in to the dashboard. HttpOnly, sent only to the API path, and never used to track visitors. | Strictly necessary | 12 hours |
| WM_cookie_pref | Remembers that you acknowledged the cookie notice, so it does not reappear on every visit. | Strictly necessary (preference) | 12 months |
Both are first-party cookies set by this website. Neither follows you across other sites.
3. No tracking cookies
At launch this site sets no analytics, advertising or social-media tracking cookies. Strictly necessary cookies do not require your consent under UK rules, which is why the notice banner asks for a simple acknowledgement rather than choices you do not need to make. [PLACEHOLDER — confirm with WM before launch: statement stands as long as no analytics/marketing tools are added — revisit this page first if they ever are].
4. Managing cookies
You can clear or block cookies in your browser settings at any time. Deleting WM_cookie_pref simply means the cookie notice will appear again. Blocking WM_admin_session will prevent staff sign-in to the dashboard, but affects nothing else on the public site.
5. Changes to this policy
If the cookies we set ever change, this page will be updated first. Last updated: [PLACEHOLDER — set at launch].
6. Contact
