Cookie Policy

What cookies are:

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. Similar technologies, such as local storage, perform comparable functions. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, to remember preferences and to provide usage information to site owners.

How this website uses them:

We keep the list deliberately short. This website uses:

• Consent preference (essential): a single local storage entry, db-cookie-consent, records whether you accepted or declined analytics cookies so we do not ask on every visit. It contains no personal information and remains until you clear your browser data or change your choice.
• Google Analytics (optional, consent only): if you choose Accept on our cookie notice, Google Analytics 4 sets cookies (_ga and a _ga_ prefixed cookie, each lasting up to two years) to help us understand, in aggregate, how visitors use the site: which pages are read, how visitors arrive and what devices they use. IP addresses are truncated and we do not use analytics data to identify individuals. If you decline, these cookies are not set and Google Analytics remains disabled through Google Consent Mode.
• Google reCAPTCHA (security, contact page only): the enquiry form is protected by Google reCAPTCHA v3, which may set a _GRECAPTCHA cookie to distinguish genuine visitors from automated abuse. This protection operates only on the contact page. Google's Privacy Policy and Terms of Service apply.

Changing your choice:

You can change your analytics choice at any time by selecting cookie settings, which reopens the consent notice. You can also delete or block cookies through your browser settings; guidance for every major browser is available at aboutcookies.org.uk. Blocking the essential preference entry simply means we will ask for your choice again on your next visit.

More information:

Details of how we handle personal information more generally, including your rights, are set out in our Privacy Policy. Questions about this policy are welcome by telephone on 020 7112 8258 or through the contact page.
