Cookie Policy
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. This page explains which ones we use, what each of them does, and how you can manage them.

1. What Are Cookies
When you visit a website, your browser may store a small file called a cookie on your device. Cookies help websites remember useful things — for example, whether you've already seen a notice, or how you arrived at the site. They are not programmes and cannot carry viruses or malware.
Some cookies are set by the website you're visiting (first-party cookies). Others are set by services the website uses, such as analytics tools (third-party cookies).
2. How We Use Cookies
We keep our use of cookies limited. We do not use cookies to show you adverts, track you across other websites, or build a profile of your interests. The cookies we use fall into two categories:
Essential Cookies
These are necessary for the website to function. They remember whether you have acknowledged our cookie notice, so we don't show it to you on every page. Without these, certain basic features of the site won't work correctly.
Analytics Cookies
These help us understand how visitors use our site — for example, which pages are most visited and where people tend to leave. We use this information only to improve the website. Analytics data is aggregated and does not identify you personally.
3. Cookies We Set
| Cookie Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| ac_cookie_consent | Essential | Stores your response to the cookie notice so it isn't shown on every visit. | 12 months |
| _ga | Analytics | Google Analytics. Distinguishes between unique visitors using a randomly generated identifier. No personal information is stored. | 2 years |
| _ga_* | Analytics | Google Analytics. Maintains session state and counts page views for reporting purposes. | 2 years |
4. Third-Party Cookies
Our website includes an embedded Google Maps panel on the contact section of the homepage. Google may set its own cookies when that map loads. We do not control these cookies, and they are governed by Google's own privacy and cookie policies, which you can read at policies.google.com/privacy.
We do not embed social media buttons, advertising scripts, or other third-party tracking tools on this website.
5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You can manage cookies in several ways:
Through your browser
Most browsers allow you to view, block, or delete cookies through their settings. The steps vary by browser; look for a "Privacy" or "Cookies" section in your browser's settings menu. Note that blocking essential cookies may affect how the site works.
For Google Analytics specifically
You can opt out of Google Analytics across all websites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Via our cookie notice
When you first visit our homepage, a small notice at the bottom of the page gives you the choice to accept or decline analytics cookies. You can revisit this choice at any time by clearing the ac_cookie_consent item from your browser's local storage, which will cause the notice to reappear on your next visit.
6. Changes to This Policy
We may update this cookie policy if we change the tools we use or the way we use them. The date at the top of the page shows when it was last revised. We won't introduce new tracking technologies without updating this policy first.
7. Questions
If you have any questions about how we use cookies, please write to us at [email protected]. We'll answer as plainly as we can.
