Cookie Policy
What cookies this site sets, why they exist and how to control them — the short version of a topic most sites bury in jargon.
Effective: 1 January 2025 · Last reviewed: August 2025
1. What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files a website places on your device to remember preferences and understand how the site is used. They cannot run programs or carry viruses — they are simply memory notes between visits.
2. Cookies We Use
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| cookies-accepted | Remembers whether you accepted or declined cookies via the banner. | 12 months |
| exit-modal-shown | Prevents our newsletter invitation appearing more than once per visit. | Session only |
| Analytics (aggregate) | Anonymised page-visit statistics that help us understand which pages are useful. No personal identification. | Up to 24 months |
3. What We Do Not Use
- No advertising or remarketing cookies.
- No cross-site tracking or fingerprinting.
- No social-media pixels embedded for tracking purposes.
- No sale of browsing data to anyone, under any circumstances.
Declining cookies changes nothing about how the site works for you — the banner simply will not return, and analytics collection stops.
4. Managing Cookies
You can control cookies three ways:
- Our banner — accept or decline on your first visit; your choice is stored for twelve months.
- Browser settings — every modern browser lets you block or delete cookies via privacy settings.
- Private browsing — sessions in private/incognito windows leave no persistent cookies at all.
5. Third-Party Content
Embedded content — such as the Google Maps panel on our contacts page — may set cookies from Google under its own policy. These appear only when you interact with the embedded content and are governed by Google's privacy terms, not ours.
6. Changes
This policy is reviewed alongside our Privacy Policy. Questions about cookies: [email protected].
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you track me across other sites?
No. We set only first-party, functional cookies plus anonymised analytics. There is no advertising tracking, no pixels, no cross-site profiling.
Can I change my cookie choice later?
Yes — clear your browser's cookies for this site and the banner will reappear on your next visit, or adjust analytics consent in browser privacy settings.
