Cookie Policy
How a&f uses cookies on this website, what each one does, and how to change your choices at any time.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They let the site remember things such as the pages you have viewed, the choices you have made, and whether you have visited before. Similar technologies, including local storage and tracking pixels, work in comparable ways, and this policy covers those too.
This policy explains the cookies used on a-f.co.uk. It sits alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains more broadly how we handle personal information.
Your choices
When you first visit the site you are asked whether to accept non-essential cookies. Strictly necessary cookies are set regardless, because the site cannot work without them. Everything else is set only if you agree.
You can change your mind at any time using the cookie settings control on this website, or by clearing cookies in your browser settings. Withdrawing consent is as straightforward as giving it, and does not affect your ability to use the site.

Preferences
These remember choices you have made, such as settings that change how the site looks or behaves for you. They are set only with your consent.
Third-party content
Some pages include content hosted elsewhere, such as embedded video or maps. Where that content is present, the provider may set its own cookies once the content loads. We do not control those cookies, and you should refer to the provider's own privacy information for detail.
Blocking cookies in your browser
You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings, independently of the choices you make on this site. Every major browser publishes instructions for doing so. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop parts of the site working as intended.
Changes to this policy
We review this policy whenever the site changes and update it as needed. Any changes are published on this page, and the date below shows when it was last revised.
