Description

The GOV.UK cookies page includes a radio with a very long hint.

I believe this is an accessibility issue. The design system advises explicitly against long hint text.

Do not use hint text if you need to give a lengthy explanation with lists and paragraphs. Screen readers read out the entire text when users interact with the form element. This could frustrate users if the text is long.
