Cookie Policy
Last Updated: 8 May 2025
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They serve a range of purposes — from keeping the site working properly to helping us understand how visitors use it. They do not run programmes or deliver viruses; they are simply small data records.
Most browsers accept cookies by default, but you can adjust your settings to block or delete them at any time. Doing so may affect how parts of this site function.
2. Cookie Types We Use
Essential Cookies Always Active
These are necessary for the website to function. Without them, features like the contact form and cookie preference storage would not operate correctly. They do not track browsing activity across other sites.
- Cookie consent storage (localStorage key:
cookieConsent) - Session management for basic site security
Analytics Cookies
These help us understand how visitors arrive at and move through the website, so we can improve its content and structure. Information collected is aggregated and does not identify individuals.
- Google Analytics — page views, session duration, referral source
Marketing Cookies
These allow us to measure the effectiveness of any advertising we run, and to show relevant content on external platforms. We do not run extensive advertising, but these cookies may be present if tracking is enabled.
- Google Ads conversion tracking
- Facebook Pixel (if campaign is active)
- Microsoft Advertising (Bing Pixel)
Preference Cookies
These remember choices you have made on the site — such as your cookie consent settings — so you are not prompted repeatedly.
- Cookie consent preferences
- Language or regional settings (if applicable)
3. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies are placed by third-party services that appear on our pages. We do not control these cookies. Third parties who may set cookies include:
- Google — Analytics and Ads services. See Google's Privacy Policy.
- Meta (Facebook) — Advertising pixel. See Meta's Privacy Policy.
- Microsoft — Bing advertising. See Microsoft's Privacy Statement.
Embedding a Google Maps iframe on our site may also result in cookies being placed by Google in accordance with their policies.
4. Cookie Duration
Cookies fall into two duration types:
- Session cookies — exist only while your browser is open. They are deleted automatically when you close the browser.
- Persistent cookies — remain on your device for a set period. Our consent cookie persists for up to 12 months. Analytics cookies from Google typically expire after 13 months.
5. Your Cookie Preferences
Use the controls below to manage which optional cookies you accept. Essential cookies cannot be disabled — the site requires them to function. Your choices are saved to your browser's local storage.

7. Your Rights
You have the right to withdraw your cookie consent at any time by adjusting the toggles above or through your browser settings. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing that took place before you withdrew it.
