What are cookies?
Cookies are small files stored by your browser. They can support security, remember a session or help measure website use. Similar technologies can also store or access information on your device.
Cookies used by this website
Cookies depend on the features you use and whether analytics is enabled. The following lifetimes describe browser storage, not how long associated information is held in our systems.

Website measurement and Google services
Our own analytics can record page visits, interactions and enquiry conversions. When enabled, its tracking checks browser Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control signals and an existing analytics opt-out cookie. These checks apply to our own analytics; they do not control every third-party service.
This website also includes Google Analytics and Google Ads tags. Their cookies and data handling depend on Google’s services and configuration. See Google’s cookie information and Privacy Policy.
Calendly and external services
The booking page loads an embedded Calendly calendar. Calendly can use cookies or similar technologies and presents its own choices within the embed. Those choices apply to Calendly and do not manage cookies for the rest of this website. Read Calendly’s privacy and cookie information for details.
Opening external links, such as WhatsApp or social-media pages, takes you to providers with their own policies. External assets can also receive technical request information when they load.
Managing your choices
You can review, block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking cookies can affect sign-in, forms or embedded services. Deleting cookies does not remove information already stored by us or an external provider.
A website-wide cookie preference panel is not currently available. Google tags load automatically, and Calendly loads when you visit the booking page. The choices shown by Calendly apply to that service. We will revise this page when website preference controls change.
Updates and related information
We will update this policy when our cookies or integrations change. For information about enquiries, usage data and privacy requests, read our Privacy Policy.
