What we use
Your cookie choice
One small note in your browser remembering Accept or Reject. It's essential, and it never leaves your device.
Google Analytics
Counts visits and shows us which pages help parents. Nothing loads from Google until you press Accept.
Google Maps
Only on our contact page, and only after you press “Show the map”. Then Google's own cookies apply.
No advertising cookies, ever. Our forms don't set cookies, and our Book buttons take you to iPAL, a separate website with its own cookies.
Every cookie, listed

Changing your choice
Changed your mind? Open the cookie banner again and pick the other button.
Pressing Reject stops Google Analytics straight away and deletes its _ga cookies from this website.
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser's settings. The site works the same without them; you'll just see the banner again.
