Cookie Policy
Last updated: 4 July 2026
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They allow websites to remember your preferences and activity. Cookies can be session-based (deleted when you close your browser) or persistent (remain until they expire or you delete them).
2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for three main purposes: essential functionality (keeping the site secure and operational), analytics (understanding how you use our site), and marketing (personalising your experience and measuring ad effectiveness).
3. Cookie Categories
Strictly Necessary: These cookies are essential for site operation. They enable core functionality like form submission, security, and session management. You cannot disable these.
Analytics: We use Google Analytics (_ga, _gid, _gat) to understand user behaviour, page performance, and traffic patterns. These cookies do not identify you personally.
Marketing & Conversion Tracking: Google Ads cookies (_gcl_au, _gcl_aw, _gcl_dc) track conversions and allow us to show relevant ads. Consent Mode v2 governs how these work based on your preferences.
4. Third-Party Cookies
Google Analytics: Google's analytics cookies track how you interact with the site. Google may combine this data with other information for advertising purposes. See Google's Privacy Policy.
Google Ads: If we use Google Ads, conversion tracking cookies help measure campaign effectiveness. These cookies respect your Consent Mode v2 settings.
Google Maps: Our contact page embeds Google Maps, which uses its own cookies for functionality and analytics.
5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You can control cookies through our Cookie Settings banner (link in footer). You can also disable cookies in your browser settings, though this may affect site functionality. Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies or alert you when cookies are being sent.
6. Consent Mode v2
We use Google Consent Mode v2 to respect your privacy choices. By default, analytics and marketing cookies are denied until you consent. When you accept, we update your preferences with Google and enable these cookies.
