Cookie Policy

Last Updated: 10 July 2025

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They are widely used to make websites work reliably, to remember your preferences, and to give website owners a general understanding of how their pages are being used.

Cookies do not run programmes on your device and cannot carry viruses. A cookie from one website cannot read cookies placed by another website.

Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies — always active

These cookies are necessary for the basic functioning of the website. They allow you to navigate the pages and use features such as the contact form. Without them, the site does not work properly. You cannot turn these off, but they store no personally identifying information.

  • Cookie consent preference storage (cookieConsent in localStorage)
  • Session stability and security

Duration: persistent (localStorage, cleared when you clear browser data)

Analytics Cookies — optional

These cookies help us understand which pages are visited most often, how long people spend on them, and where they come from. We use this in aggregate form — no individual is identified. If you decline these, the website continues to work normally; we simply have less information about how it is being used.

  • Google Analytics (if consent given)

Duration: up to 24 months (Google Analytics persistent cookies)

Marketing Cookies — optional

We currently do not use marketing or advertising cookies on this website. If this changes, we will update this policy and seek fresh consent before placing them.

Duration: not applicable

Preference Cookies — optional

These cookies remember choices you have made — for example, keeping a note of how you navigated the site. They are used to make your next visit slightly more convenient. Declining them has no visible effect on the current visit.

Duration: up to 12 months

Third-Party Cookies

If analytics cookies are accepted, Google Analytics will place cookies on your device. These are governed by Google's privacy policy. We do not use social media tracking pixels or advertising network cookies.

An embedded Google Maps iframe appears on our home page. Google may set cookies when that map is loaded, subject to their own cookie policy.

Managing Cookies in Your Browser

You can also control cookies directly through your browser settings. Below are guides for common browsers.

Google Chrome

Go to Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data. From there you can block all cookies, allow only first-party cookies, or clear existing cookies. To delete cookies for a specific site, use See all site data and permissions.

Mozilla Firefox

Go to Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data. You can block all third-party cookies, clear existing cookies, or manage exceptions for specific websites. Firefox's Enhanced Tracking Protection is enabled by default.

Apple Safari

On macOS: Safari → Settings → Privacy. Enable "Prevent cross-site tracking" to block third-party cookies. On iOS: Settings → Safari → Privacy & Security. Use "Block All Cookies" to disable all cookies.

Microsoft Edge

Go to Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Cookies and data stored. You can choose to block all third-party cookies or manage exceptions. The "Tracking prevention" feature (under Privacy settings) also limits cookie-based tracking.

Note: blocking all cookies may prevent some website features — including the contact form — from working correctly.

Your Rights

You have the right to withdraw consent to optional cookies at any time using the toggles above. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing that took place before you withdrew it.

Disabling analytics and preference cookies does not restrict your ability to use any part of the website or to contact us.

For questions about this policy or about how your data is handled more broadly, please contact us at [email protected].
