Cookie Policy

We want you to feel comfortable on this website. This page explains what cookies are, how we use them, and the straightforward choices you have. There are no surprises here.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They are stored in your browser and sent back to the website on your next visit. Cookies themselves cannot run programs or carry viruses — they are simply a way for a website to remember certain information between pages or sessions.

Websites use cookies for a range of everyday purposes: keeping you signed in, remembering your preferences, understanding which pages are most useful, and (in some cases) showing you more relevant advertising. Some cookies are essential for a page to work properly; others are optional and exist only to improve your experience.

You have the right to choose which optional cookies are active. The controls on this page let you do exactly that, and your choices are saved directly in your browser — no account required.

Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

Always active — required for the site to function

These cookies are necessary for the website to operate. Without them, certain pages may not load correctly or your session may not be maintained. They do not collect personal information for marketing and cannot be disabled through this panel.

  • Session management: keeps your browsing session consistent as you move between pages.
  • Security tokens: protect form submissions from automated misuse.
  • Cookie consent record: remembers that you have been shown this notice.

Duration: Session (deleted when you close your browser) or up to 12 months for consent records.

Analytics Cookies

Optional — help us understand how the site is used

Analytics cookies help us see which pages are visited most often and where visitors come from. This helps us improve the site over time. The data collected is aggregated and does not identify you personally.

  • Page views: which pages are visited and how long visitors spend on them.
  • Traffic sources: how visitors find the website (search, direct, referral).
  • Device type: whether visitors use mobile, tablet, or desktop.

Duration: Up to 2 years. Provider: Google Analytics (data processed under Google's privacy policy).

Marketing Cookies

Optional — used for relevant advertising

Marketing cookies allow advertising platforms to show you content relevant to your interests. If enabled, your visit may be used to tailor advertising on other websites you visit. These are set by third-party providers and governed by their own privacy policies.

  • Ad personalisation: helps third parties show relevant advertisements.
  • Frequency capping: limits how many times the same ad is shown to you.

Duration: Up to 90 days. Providers: Google Ads, Meta (Facebook/Instagram).

Preference Cookies

Optional — remember your personal settings

Preference cookies remember choices you have made so the website behaves in a way you prefer on future visits. For example, your language selection or whether you have dismissed a notice.

  • Language / region: retains your display preference if you have selected one.
  • Notice dismissals: remembers informational banners you have already seen.

Duration: Up to 12 months.

Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on this site are set by third-party services rather than by us directly. We do not control these cookies, and they are subject to each provider's own privacy policy. The third-party services that may place cookies include:

Provider Purpose Category
Google Analytics Site usage statistics and traffic analysis Analytics
Google Maps Embedded map for office location display Essential
Google Ads Advertising measurement and remarketing Marketing
Meta (Facebook) Social platform advertising and reach measurement Marketing

You can review and opt out of Google's use of cookies via Google's privacy controls, and Meta's via Meta's privacy policy.

How Long Do Cookies Last?

Cookies fall into two broad duration categories:

Session Cookies

Temporary cookies that exist only while your browser is open. They are automatically deleted when you close your browser tab or window. These are used for basic site functionality like maintaining your current browsing session.

Persistent Cookies

These remain on your device until they expire or you delete them. Expiry periods typically range from 30 days (for marketing) to 24 months (for analytics). Your consent record is stored for up to 12 months.
