Cookies
What our website stores on your device, and the choice you have.
Cookies on this website
Cookies are small files a website stores on your device. Our own website doesn’t set any. Two things we use from other organisations can:
- Spam protection on our contact form – essential, so always on.
- Google Maps on our contact and For parents pages – optional, and only if you accept.
Essential
Always on
These keep the website secure and remember your choice, so the law doesn’t require your consent for them.

This website | Remembers whether you accepted or rejected Google Maps cookies, so we don’t ask on every page. It’s kept in your browser’s storage and never sent to us. | 6 months, then we ask again |
Optional
Google Maps
The maps on our contact and For parents pages are provided by Google. If you accept cookies, the map loads and Google may set or read its own cookies on your device – for example to remember your preferences or, if you’re signed in to Google, to link the visit to your Google account. Google decides which cookies it uses; see how Google uses cookies.
If you reject cookies, or haven’t chosen yet, the map isn’t loaded. You can still press Show map to load it just that once, or open our location in Google Maps in a new tab.
Your choice
Change your mind at any time
Changing to Reject stops Google Maps loading from then on, but any cookies Google has already set stay on your device until they expire. You can delete them in your browser’s settings.
Other websites
Our pages link to other websites, such as Online Scout Manager, Stripe (for donations) and Google Calendar. Once you follow a link you’re on their website, and their own cookie policy applies.
