2. What are cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help websites function effectively and, in some cases, provide information about how the site is used.

3. How we use cookies

We use cookies only where necessary to:

• Ensure the Website functions securely and reliably

We do not use cookies for advertising or cross-site tracking.

4. Types of cookies used

• Strictly necessary cookies: Essential for the operation, security, and integrity of the Website. These are always active.

5. Consent and control

When you first visit the Website, you are presented with a cookie banner that allows you to:

Strictly necessary cookies are always active and do not require consent.

For users in the UK, certain analytics cookies may be used without prior consent where permitted under the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025, subject to transparency and the ability to opt out.

For users in the EU, non-essential cookies are only set where you have provided consent.

You can also control or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings.

6. Third-party processors

We use a limited number of trusted service providers in connection with Website operation:

• Cloudflare, Inc. – provides hosting, security, and content delivery. Any cookies or similar technologies used by Cloudflare are strictly necessary for these purposes and do not track users across sites.
• Formcarry – used solely to deliver contact form submissions. It does not set analytics or tracking cookies.
• Google Analytics (where enabled) – we may use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the Website. Google Analytics sets cookies that collect aggregated information such as pages visited, time spent on the site, and general interaction data. These cookies do not identify you directly. Where required, they are only activated following your consent. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking via your browser settings or by using Google’s opt-out tools.

We do not permit third-party advertising or cross-site tracking technologies.

7. International data transfers

Due to the nature of modern web infrastructure, cookie-related and technical data may be processed outside the United Kingdom or European Economic Area.

Where this occurs, any data associated with cookie-enabled services is handled in accordance with applicable data protection law, including the use of appropriate safeguards such as:

• The EU–US Data Privacy Framework (for EU data), where applicable
• The UK Extension to the EU–US Data Privacy Framework, or
• Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the UK Information Commissioner

Cookie-related data is retained only for as long as necessary for its purpose:

• Strictly necessary cookies: retained for the duration of the session or as required for security and functionality
• Analytics cookies (where enabled): retained in line with standard analytics retention periods (typically up to 14 months)

Infrastructure-level data processed by Cloudflare for security and performance purposes is retained for a limited period (typically no longer than 30 days) in accordance with their processing terms.
