Cookie Policy.
Last updated: 14 July 2026. Download this policy as a PDF.
This policy explains what cookies are, which ones this website uses, why, and how you can control them. It is written to meet the requirements of the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR).
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device when you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, remember your preferences, and (on many sites) track your activity. Cookies set by the website you are visiting are called “first-party” cookies; cookies set by other companies through embedded content are “third-party” cookies.
Our approach: no tracking cookies
This website is deliberately built to work without tracking you:
- Our analytics are cookieless. We use Fathom Analytics, a privacy-first service that counts visits without cookies, without collecting personal data, and without following you across other websites. Because it sets no cookies and identifies no individuals, it does not require your consent under PECR.
- We do not use advertising or social-media tracking cookies.
- Embedded videos are privacy-protected. Videos on this site are served in YouTube’s privacy-enhanced mode (youtube-nocookie.com), which means YouTube does not set cookies unless you choose to play a video. If you do press play, YouTube (Google) may set its own cookies – see Google’s privacy policy.
Cookies we use
The only cookies this website sets are strictly necessary ones. These are exempt from the consent requirement because the site cannot provide the service you have asked for without them – in our case, remembering your cookie preferences and protecting the site from malicious traffic.
| Cookie | Set by | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| cookieyes-consent | CookieYes (this site) | A single cookie recording whether you have responded to the cookie notice and your consent choice for each category, so the site remembers your decision. | 12 months |
| __cf_bm | Cloudflare | Security: distinguishes genuine visitors from malicious automated traffic while the site loads. | Under 1 hour |
Optional cookies you can switch on
One feature of this site uses cookies and only loads if you choose to allow it:
| Feature | Set by | Purpose | Category |
|---|---|---|---|
| Interactive maps on our contact page | Google Maps | Displays our office locations. Google sets its own cookies (such as NID) when the map loads – see Google’s cookie policy. | Functional |
With functional cookies disabled (the default), the maps are replaced by a notice and no connection to Google is made. Enable functional cookies via Cookie Settings and the maps load on your next visit to the page; disable them again and the maps – and Google’s cookies – stop loading.
How to manage or disable cookies
You can review or change your choices at any time using the Cookie Settings option on the cookie notice.
You can also control cookies through your web browser – every modern browser lets you view, block, and delete cookies for any site. Step-by-step guidance for each browser is available at aboutcookies.org.
Please note that the strictly necessary cookies listed above exist to make the site work; blocking them at browser level may affect how the site behaves, though this site remains usable without them.

Changes to this policy
We will update this page whenever the cookies this website uses change, and the “last updated” date above will reflect the most recent revision.
