What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help sites work efficiently, remember your preferences, and improve your overall experience.

How We Use Cookies

We use two types of cookies on our website:

Essential cookies keep the site secure and working — sessions, security and core functionality. These are always on.
Analytics cookies are optional. Where consent is legally required we only use them after consent; where an exemption applies we still give you a clear way to object.

Specific Cookies We Use

The cookies this site may set, what they do and how long they last:

Cookie Provider Purpose Expiry
googtrans GTranslate Session language-preference cookie. Created only after you choose a language from the Translate menu, so the pages you visit next stay in that language. Removed when you choose English again. It does not identify you and is not used for analytics or advertising. Session (deleted when you close your browser)
ga_consent_preference Gale Street Post Office Stores your analytics cookie consent choice (granted or denied). 1 year
cookie_consent Gale Street Post Office Legacy consent cookie (same as ga_consent_preference). 1 year
_ga Google Analytics Distinguishes unique users (loaded only after consent). 2 years
_ga_* Google Analytics Persists session state (loaded only after consent). 2 years
PHPSESSID Server Essential session cookie for server-side functionality. Session

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics, provided by Google LLC. Data may include anonymised IP addresses and usage data, and may be processed on servers outside the UK/EEA.

Anonymised IP — IP anonymisation is enabled, so your address is truncated within the EU/EEA before processing.
Consent-gated — analytics cookies are only set after you give explicit consent via our cookie banner.
No advertising — we do not use Google Analytics for advertising, remarketing or personalised ads.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

When you first visit, a cookie banner lets you accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can change your choice at any time via the Cookie Preferences link in the footer, or through your browser settings. Disabling essential cookies may affect how the site works.

You can withdraw analytics consent at any time, as easily as you gave it, using Cookie Preferences.

Consent and Control

We use a consent management mechanism so non-essential cookies (such as analytics) are only activated after you provide clear consent. We do not place analytics cookies before consent is given.

Third-Party Cookies

We do not currently use advertising or social-media tracking cookies. If this changes in future, we will update this policy accordingly.

Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements or our services. Please check this page periodically.
