What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help websites recognise your browser across visits, remember preferences you have set, and understand how visitors navigate the site.
Cookies do not give websites access to your device beyond the information they store themselves. Most browsers allow you to see, manage, and delete cookies through their settings.
Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website to function correctly. They cannot be disabled. They manage session state and support the cookie consent tool itself. No personal data is collected through essential cookies beyond what is technically required.
Examples: session management, cookie consent preference storage (localStorage).
Analytics Cookies
Where you consent, we use Google Analytics to understand how visitors navigate this website — which pages are visited, how long sessions last, and how visitors arrive. This data is aggregated and does not identify individual users.
Examples: _ga, _gid (Google Analytics).
Marketing Cookies
Where you consent, marketing cookies allow us to understand whether visitors who enquire found us through advertising. We do not use these cookies to serve advertisements to you personally.
Examples: Google Ads click identifiers, if applicable.
Preference Cookies
These cookies remember choices you have made on this website — such as language or region preferences — so you do not need to set them again on subsequent visits.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies are set by third-party services we use on this website. These include:
- Google Analytics — anonymous usage measurement. Governed by Google's privacy policy.
- Google Fonts — serves the typefaces used on this site. May set performance-related cookies.
We have no direct control over third-party cookies. Where you disable optional cookie categories, third-party cookies in those categories will not be set.
Cookie Duration
Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. They support temporary functions like session management during your visit.
Persistent cookies remain on your device until they expire or you delete them. Google Analytics cookies typically expire after thirteen months. Your cookie preference is stored in localStorage and does not expire automatically.
