Cookies
What this website stores in your browser, and how to control it.
This policy has not been approved yet
The wording on this page is a draft and must be reviewed before the site takes real bookings.
What we use
We keep it to the minimum. Most of what we store is needed for the site to work, so the law (the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations) doesn't require us to ask first. We ask before anything else.

Analytics, only if you accept
If you accept analytics, we count visits with Plausible Analytics. Plausible doesn't use cookies or collect personal information, but we still ask first. If you don't accept, it doesn't load at all.
We don't use advertising cookies.
Other sites
- Payments happen on Stripe's own secure page, which sets its own cookies. See Stripe's privacy policy.
- Course films play through Vimeo with its "do not track" setting switched on, so Vimeo doesn't set tracking cookies.
- Some films play through YouTube's privacy-enhanced mode. Nothing loads from YouTube until you press play. Once a film plays, YouTube may store information in your browser. See Google's privacy policy.
