Cookie policy

What a cookie is

A cookie is a small text file a website asks your browser to store. It lets the site recognise the same browser on a later page or a later visit. Some cookies are set by this website, and some are set by other services the site loads.

What this website uses

This website uses Google Ads to understand whether an advertisement led to someone enquiring with us, and Google Analytics to understand how the site is used. Once you accept, both store first-party cookies in your browser, under our own domain. The advertising ones last about 90 days and the analytics ones about 13 months.

We did not find any other cookies on the site. There is no session recording and no social media tracking.

Your choice, and how to change it

When you first visit, a notice appears asking whether you accept these cookies. Nothing is stored until you choose.

• Choose Accept and the advertising cookies described above are allowed.
• Choose Reject and they are not set at all. The website works exactly the same either way.

Your choice is remembered for six months so you are not asked on every page. To change it, clear this site’s cookies in your browser and the notice will appear again on your next visit.
