Cookie policy

The one cookie we set

A short-lived session cookie protects the contact form from automated abuse. It is strictly necessary under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations, so no consent banner is shown.

What we avoid

No analytics cookies, no advertising cookies, no social-media pixels, no cross-site tracking of any kind.

YouTube's cookies

The embedded player on episode pages comes from YouTube. Playing a video may cause Google to set cookies for playback settings and, for signed-in users, personalisation. Those are Google's cookies under Google's policies; a plain link to the video is always provided as an alternative.

Managing cookies

Browsers can block or delete cookies. Blocking the session cookie will prevent the contact form from working. Reviewed September 2026.
