Cookie policy

Every cookie this site can set, and what each one is for.

Generated from the site's current settings on 30 October 2026

This list is built automatically from the way the site is set up today, so it always matches what the site actually does. If we stop using one of these services, its cookies come off the list, because the site stops setting them.

Always on

These are needed for the site to work. There is nothing to agree to, because without them the site cannot do what you asked it to.

Name	Set by	What it does	How long
`mfc_session`	This site	Keeps a form you are part-way through, and signs in an administrator. It contains a random identifier and nothing else.	Until you close the browser, or two hours idle
`None`	This site	Our own visit counting works entirely on the server and sets no cookie. Visitors are distinguished by a one-way hash of address and browser with a salt that is regenerated every night, so it cannot be linked across days or traced back to anyone.	Not applicable
`__cf_bm and related`	Cloudflare	Tells a person from an automated script on the enquiry form, so the mailbox is not filled with rubbish.	Up to 30 minutes
`mfc-consent`	This site	Remembers your answer to the cookie question, so you are not asked again every time. Stored in your browser rather than sent to us.	Until you clear your browser storage

Only if you agree

These load only after you have agreed. Until then they are not on the page at all, so nothing is sent to them.

This reopens the question with your current answer marked. Say no and nothing above loads from then on. The same control is in the footer of every page.
