Cookie Policy
Last updated: 29 July 2026
The short version
With your permission, we use Google Analytics to measure visits and successful enquiries, and to understand which Google adverts lead people to contact us. Google measurement only loads after you accept. We do not enable personalised advertising or Google Signals.
We remember your measurement choice for up to six months. Rejecting measurement does not prevent you from using the site or sending an enquiry.
What cookies and similar technologies are
A cookie is a small text file a website saves on your device. "Local storage" does a similar job — it keeps a small amount of information in your browser — but the data stays on your device and is not automatically sent back to the website with every request. The rules that apply to cookies also apply to local storage, so we cover both here.
What this site stores
| Name | Type | What it does | How long it lasts |
|---|---|---|---|
cf-measurement-consent-v1 |
Local storage (essential) | Remembers your optional measurement choice and when you made it. The previous cf-cookie-choice preference may remain from an earlier version; it is not treated as measurement consent. | Up to six months, or until you clear site data |
_ga, _ga_* | Optional first-party cookies | Google Analytics visitor and session measurement, after you accept. | Up to two years |
_gcl_* (where used) | Optional first-party cookies | Advertising click attribution, after you accept. | Typically up to 90 days |
The preference is essential to respect your choice and is stored on your device. Optional measurement may send Google technical data such as device/browser information, online identifiers, the page viewed and events for successful enquiries or contact-link clicks. We do not send names, phone numbers, email addresses, postcodes, messages or photos from the form to Google. See Google’s Privacy Policy.
Third-party services
Google Fonts
The typefaces on this site are loaded from Google Fonts. Your browser requests the font files directly from Google's servers, which means Google receives your IP address and basic technical information in order to deliver them. Google states that font requests do not set cookies. If you would rather avoid this, you can block the domains fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com in your browser — the site will still work, but the typefaces will fall back to your device's defaults.
Links to WhatsApp and Google
Some buttons take you to services we don't control:
- WhatsApp — used to send us an enquiry with photos. Once you are in WhatsApp, Meta's own privacy terms and cookies apply.
- Google — the link to our Google Business Profile, where you can read or leave a review. Once you are on Google, their cookies and privacy policy apply.
These external links open the relevant provider’s service when you click them. Google Fonts and optional Google measurement are described separately above.
Web hosting
Our hosting provider keeps standard server logs (IP address, browser type, pages requested, time) to keep the site secure and available. These are server records rather than cookies, and are described in our Privacy Policy.
How to control what's stored
- Changing your choice. Use Cookie settings in the footer to accept or reject measurement at any time. Rejecting after accepting stops measurement and removes measurement cookies accessible to this site. You can also clear this site’s data in your browser.
- Browser controls. Every major browser lets you block or delete cookies and site data. Look under Settings → Privacy. Blocking optional cookies does not prevent enquiries; blocking preference storage may make the notice reappear.
- Blocking Google Fonts. A content blocker or browser setting can stop the font request described above.
If this changes
We ask for consent before loading optional Google measurement. If the purposes or providers change, we will update this page and request a new choice where needed.
