Cookie Policy

🍪 What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, remember your preferences, and provide information to website owners.

There are different types of cookies — some are essential for the website to function, while others are used for analytics, advertising, or personalisation. This policy explains exactly which ones this website uses (and which ones it doesn't).

📊 Cookies We Use

This website uses only the minimal cookies necessary for it to function correctly. We do not use any third-party advertising, analytics, or tracking cookies.

Both of these are strictly necessary cookies. Under UK law (PECR), strictly necessary cookies do not require your consent, but we are disclosing them here in the interest of full transparency.

🚫 Cookies We Do NOT Use

To be completely transparent, here is what we deliberately do not use:

• ❌ Google Analytics — We do not track visitor behaviour, page views, or traffic sources
• ❌ Google Ads / AdSense — We do not run advertising campaigns that require tracking cookies
• ❌ Facebook Pixel — We do not track visitors for social media advertising purposes
• ❌ Hotjar / Clarity / other session recorders — We do not record or replay your browsing sessions
• ❌ Any cross-site tracking — We do not follow you around the internet after you leave our site
• ❌ Third-party social media buttons — We do not embed social media widgets that set their own cookies

🌐 Third-Party Services

This website uses Google Fonts to display our chosen typography. When your browser loads this website, it makes a request to Google's servers to download the font files. Google may log this request (including your IP address) in accordance with their own privacy policy.

If you prefer not to have Google Fonts load, you can disable it in your browser, though this will affect the visual appearance of the site.

The embedded Google Maps on our contact page may set cookies from Google when you interact with the map. These are controlled by Google's cookie policy, not ours. You can choose not to interact with the map to avoid these cookies.
