Cookies Policy
Draft pending legal review. Prepared from the cookies this website actually sets. The consent question flagged below needs Sirtica’s decision before publication.
A cookie is a small file a website stores in your browser. This page lists every cookie this website sets.
What this site uses
| Cookie | Set when | Lasts | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
sfm_src |
On your first visit to any page | 30 days | Records the page you arrived on and the website you came from, so that if you later send us an enquiry or an application we can see how you found us. |
googtrans |
Only if you choose a language from the language selector | Session | Remembers the language you picked, so the choice survives moving between pages. Set by Google Translate, which provides the translation. |
What this site does not use
There are no analytics cookies, no advertising or re-targeting cookies, no social media pixels and no third-party trackers. We do not build a profile of your browsing beyond the single referral record described above.
[Decision needed: consent for sfm_src]
[The sfm_src cookie is set before the visitor has asked for anything, and it records where they came from. Under the ePrivacy Directive and GDPR that is unlikely to count as strictly necessary, which means it probably requires consent — either a consent banner, or changing the plugin so the cookie is only set at the moment a form is submitted. Sirtica and their adviser to decide which. Remove this section once resolved.]
Google Translate
If you use the language selector, the translation is performed by Google, and your use of that feature is subject to Google’s own privacy terms. Avoid the selector if you would rather not involve Google.
Controlling cookies
Every browser lets you view, block and delete cookies through its settings. Blocking the cookies above affects nothing you can see: the language choice simply will not be remembered between pages.
Administrator logins
When Sirtica staff log in to administer the site, WordPress sets session cookies for that login. These apply to signed-in administrators only, never to ordinary visitors.
