2) What cookies are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. Cookies help websites function properly, improve user experience, and remember certain information (for example, preferences). Some cookies are temporary and disappear when you close your browser; others remain for longer.

3) How we use cookies

We use cookies to support the operation and security of this website. These cookies are commonly referred to as “strictly necessary” or “essential” cookies.

We also use a cookie banner to give visitors control over cookies that are not strictly necessary. Through the cookie banner, you can choose Accept all, Decline all, or Manage your preferences.

We do not use marketing cookies for behavioural advertising or retargeting (for example, Meta Pixel), and we do not intentionally use third-party analytics tools like Google Analytics unless we choose to enable them in future.

4) Types of cookies we may use

A) Strictly necessary (essential) cookies

These cookies are required for the website to work and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions you take such as navigating the site, completing forms, or maintaining basic security.

These may be used for:

  • website security and fraud prevention

  • load balancing / performance needed to deliver pages correctly

  • remembering choices you make during a browsing session

  • enabling form submissions (so your enquiry can be sent successfully)

B) Functional cookies (where applicable)

Functional cookies help the website remember your preferences and improve your experience (for example, language preferences or layout settings). If used, they are not used to track you across other websites.

Note: Depending on how your browser and website platform features work, some cookies may fall into this category.

C) Performance / analytics cookies

We do not intentionally use third-party analytics tools (such as Google Analytics). However, the website platform may use performance/analytics cookies to provide aggregated site statistics and platform functionality.

Where required, these cookies are controlled through the cookie banner preferences (Accept all / Decline all / Manage).

If we enable additional analytics tools in future, we will update this policy accordingly.

D) Marketing cookies

We do not use marketing cookies for advertising or retargeting.

5) Third-party cookies and embedded content

Some pages may include embedded content or links from third parties (for example, video embeds, maps, scheduling tools, or social media links). If you interact with embedded third-party content, those providers may set their own cookies.

Examples (only where used):

  • video embeds (e.g., YouTube / Vimeo)

  • maps (e.g., Google Maps)

  • booking tools (e.g., Calendly / Acuity)

Third-party cookies are controlled by the third party, and we recommend reviewing their cookie policies if you use those features.

6) How to control cookies

You can manage cookie preferences using the cookie banner options (Accept all, Decline all, or Manage).

You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

  • see what cookies you have and delete them individually

  • block third-party cookies

  • block all cookies

  • set your browser to delete cookies when you close it

Please note: blocking or deleting cookies may affect how this website functions and may prevent certain features (such as forms) from working correctly.

7) Changes to this Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in how the website operates or changes to legal requirements. The updated policy will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.
