Cookie Policy

What Cookies Are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to remember your preferences and to provide information to the site owner about how the site is used.

This policy explains which cookies this website sets, what they are for and how you can control them. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

How We Use Cookies

When you first visit, you will see a cookie consent banner where you can choose which types of cookies to allow. We group cookies into three categories:

Necessary Cookies

Required for the website to function. These cannot be disabled. They include session management, security cookies and the cookie that records your consent choices.

• Cookie consent - Stores your cookie preferences so the banner is not shown on every visit. Expires after 12 months.
• Spam protection - Google reCAPTCHA sets cookies on pages with forms to tell genuine enquiries from automated ones.

Analytics Cookies

Help us understand how visitors use our website by collecting anonymous usage data. We use Google Analytics 4 and Google Tag Manager. These cookies are only loaded after you give consent.

• _ga - Distinguishes visitors. Expires after 2 years.
• _ga_* - Keeps session state for Google Analytics 4. Expires after 2 years.

Marketing Cookies

Used to track visitors across websites for advertising purposes, for example to measure whether an advert led to an enquiry. These are only loaded after you give consent. We do not currently run advertising campaigns; if that changes, the cookies used will be listed here.

Changing Your Preferences

You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clicking the cookie settings option on our website. No tracking scripts run until you accept analytics cookies via the cookie banner.

You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking necessary cookies may stop parts of the website from working properly.

Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are set by third-party services that appear on our pages, such as Google. We do not control these cookies. Please refer to the third party’s own privacy and cookie policies for details: policies.google.com/privacy.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "last reviewed" date.
