2. What cookies are
Cookies are small data files that may be stored on your device when you visit a website. They are commonly used to make websites function properly, remember your settings, understand how visitors use a site, protect against abuse and, where applicable, support advertising and personalisation.
Similar technologies may include pixels, tags, local storage, scripts and device identifiers. In this policy, the term “cookies” includes similar technologies where appropriate.
3. Types of cookies we may use
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are essential for the operation, security and basic functionality of the website. They may be used, for example, to:
- Keep the website secure.
- Enable page navigation.
- Remember cookie-consent preferences.
- Maintain load balancing or session functionality.
- Prevent fraud, abuse or malicious activity.
- Enable functions you expressly request.
Because these cookies are essential, they do not normally require consent. You can block them through browser settings, but parts of the website may not work correctly as a result.
Preference cookies
Preference cookies remember choices you make, such as language, display settings or other website preferences.
Where required, we will obtain your consent before using non-essential preference cookies. No non-essential preference cookies are currently active on this website.
Analytics cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the website. For example, they may help us understand which pages are visited, how visitors arrive at the website, which content is useful and whether technical issues occur.
We use analytics information to improve the website, content, performance and user experience. No analytics cookies are currently set. Where consent is required, analytics cookies will not be set unless you choose to accept them through our cookie banner or preference tool.
Marketing cookies
Marketing cookies may be used to measure advertising performance, build audiences, personalise advertising or understand whether a visitor has engaged with advertising content.
No marketing cookies are currently used. If we use marketing cookies, we will identify the relevant provider or providers and seek consent where required before setting them.

Submitting the contact form posts to FormSubmit, a third-party form-to-email service. That submission happens only if you choose to send an enquiry. FormSubmit may process the information you submit in accordance with its own privacy policy. We do not load FormSubmit tracking scripts on other pages.
5. Consent and managing preferences
When you first visit the website, we may present a cookie banner or preference tool.
Where consent is required for non-essential cookies, you can choose to accept, reject or manage preferences. Non-essential cookies should not be placed on your device before you make that choice.
You may change or withdraw your preferences at any time by using the Cookie settings control in the website footer, or here:
Rejecting non-essential cookies should not prevent you from accessing the core content and functionality of the website, except where a particular optional feature genuinely depends on the relevant technology.
6. Browser controls
Most web browsers allow you to manage, delete or block cookies through browser settings. The method varies by browser and device. Refer to your browser provider’s instructions for information on how to manage cookies.
Please note that blocking all cookies, including strictly necessary cookies, may prevent some elements of the website from functioning properly.
7. Third-party cookies and services
Some third-party services embedded in or used through the website may place cookies or use similar technologies. Examples may include analytics providers, video hosts, maps, social-media platforms, form providers, chat services, advertising networks and content-delivery services.
Where we use third-party cookies, we will identify the relevant providers in the cookie table above. Those third parties may process information in accordance with their own privacy and cookie policies. No such third-party cookies are currently loaded by this website.
