Cookie Policy
Last updated: 1 August 2026
Short version: this website does not use tracking cookies, advertising cookies or analytics. We haven't buried that in a paragraph of hedging, because it happens to be true and it's a deliberate choice.
1. What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file placed on your device by a website. Cookies can be useful — keeping you signed in, remembering preferences — but they're also the main way advertising networks follow people around the internet.
2. What this website uses
At the time of writing, this website sets no cookies at all. Specifically:
- No analytics cookies (no Google Analytics or equivalent).
- No advertising or remarketing cookies (no Meta Pixel, no Google Ads tags).
- No social media tracking or embedded feeds.
- No third-party fonts, scripts or content loaded from external servers — everything is served from this domain.
Because of that, there's no cookie banner on this site. Under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), consent is required before setting non-essential cookies — we avoid the requirement by not setting any.
3. What is recorded automatically
Like every website, our hosting provider keeps standard server logs — the IP address that made a request, the page requested, the time, and the browser used. These are not cookies. They're a normal part of running a web server, used only for security, diagnostics and keeping the site online. See our Privacy Policy for how long they are kept.
4. Information you send us
When you submit the enquiry form, the details you type are emailed to us so we can respond. That isn't a cookie and it doesn't track you — it's simply the message you chose to send.
5. If this changes
If we add website analytics or advertising tracking in future, we will update this page and implement a compliant consent mechanism that asks your permission before anything non-essential is set. We won't quietly switch it on.
6. Controlling cookies yourself
You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time. Guidance for all major browsers is available at aboutcookies.org. Since we don't set any, this won't affect how our site works for you.
