1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies, such as local storage and pixels, work in comparable ways. They allow a website to remember your actions and preferences, and can be used to measure how the site is used and how effective advertising has been.
2. How we use them
This website uses cookies and similar technologies in the following categories. Only strictly necessary technologies are used without your consent.
| Category | Purpose | Consent |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Remembers your cookie preferences (stored locally on your device under the name cookie_consent_v1) and keeps the website secure and working. These cannot be switched off. |
Not required |
| Analytics | Helps us understand how visitors use the site — for example which pages are viewed and how people move between them — so that we can improve it. Information is aggregated where possible. | Only with your consent |
| Marketing | Allows advertising platforms we use to measure whether their campaigns led to an enquiry, and to limit how often you see our advertisements. These cookies may be set by third parties such as search engines and social networks. | Only with your consent |
3. Managing your preferences
When you first visit, a banner asks whether you accept analytics and marketing cookies. You can accept all, reject all non-essential cookies, or choose categories individually. You can change your choice at any time using the button below or the "Cookie settings" link in the footer of every page.
You can also control cookies through your browser settings, including deleting cookies already set and blocking new ones. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop parts of the website working properly.
4. Third-party content
This website loads typefaces from Google Fonts. When a font is requested, your browser sends a request to Google's servers that includes your IP address. Google Fonts does not set cookies, but you can read Google's privacy policy for details of how such requests are handled.
5. Campaign tracking in web addresses
If you arrive at our site from an advertisement or campaign link, the web address may include parameters (such as UTM tags or click identifiers). When you submit an enquiry, we record these alongside your form so that we can understand which campaigns generate enquiries. This does not use cookies and is explained in our Privacy Policy.
6. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when we change the technologies used on our website. The date at the top of the page shows when it was last revised.
