Your information

Cookie policy.

Every cookie and piece of browser storage this site uses, what each one does, and how to change your choice.

We keep this short. The site only stores what it needs to work, plus one visit counter that only runs if you say yes.

What cookies are

Cookies are small files a website saves on your device. Sites can also save information in your browser in other ways, called local storage and session storage. The law treats them the same way, so this page covers all of them.

This page sits alongside our privacy policy, which explains how we handle your personal information.

Your choice

The first time you visit, we ask whether you’re happy for us to count visits. You can choose “Accept analytics” or “Essential only”. We remember your answer for six months, then ask again.

You can change your answer at any time using the “Cookie settings” link at the bottom of every page.

Essential

These keep the site working, so they don’t need your consent. They’re stored in your browser, not sent to us, and none of them identify you.

  • bypn-consent: remembers your cookie choice. Kept for six months (local storage).
  • bypn-notice-closed: remembers which site notices you’ve closed, so we don’t show them again. Kept until you clear your browser (local storage).
  • bypn-motion: remembers if you’ve turned animations off. Kept until you clear your browser (local storage).
  • bl-at: stops the opening animation playing more than once an hour. Kept until you clear your browser (local storage).
  • bypn-nav2, bypn-rules and bypn-notices: keep a copy of the menu, the placard word filter and site notices so pages load faster. Deleted when you close the tab (session storage).

Analytics

Only used if you choose “Accept analytics”.

  • GoatCounter: counts page visits so we can see which pages are useful. It doesn’t set cookies, track you across other sites or build a profile of you. If you choose “Essential only”, it doesn’t load at all.

Other services

Some parts of the site come from other services, which may use their own cookies when you use them:

  • Tally runs our sign-up and story forms. It may use short-lived cookies to keep track of a form while you fill it in.
  • Cloudflare Turnstile checks that forms are filled in by a person, not a bot. It doesn’t set lasting cookies.
  • Webflow hosts the site. If you open a password-protected page, it sets a cookie to remember you’ve entered the password.
  • Videos play through YouTube’s privacy-enhanced mode (youtube-nocookie.com). YouTube may set cookies once you press play. Any Vimeo videos load with “do not track” switched on.
  • Our fonts load from Google. Google can see your IP address when they load, but doesn’t set cookies.
  • When you make a placard or press the button to email your MP, the site sends a short note to Make so we can count them. It doesn’t use cookies or include anything that identifies you.
  • Find your MP looks up your MP on the UK Parliament website and shows their photo from it. This only happens when you search, and Parliament’s own cookie and privacy notices cover it.

Managing cookies in your browser

You can also block or delete cookies and stored data in your browser settings. If you block essential storage, some things won’t work properly, like the site remembering your cookie choice.

We’ll update this page whenever we add or remove anything. Last updated: 1 November 2026.
