Cookie Policy

Overview

We keep cookies to a minimum. We use first-party analytics cookies (Google Analytics 4) to measure how the site is used so we can improve it. When you first arrive you'll see a short cookie banner: you can Reject analytics and we'll switch it off, or Accept to leave it on. We don't run advertising trackers and we don't follow you around the web. This policy works alongside our Privacy Policy.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files a website stores on your device. They help a site work, remember your preferences, and understand how it's being used (in aggregate). "Similar technologies" include things like local storage, which serve comparable purposes. Throughout this policy, "cookies" covers both.

How we use them

We use cookies and similar technologies for two purposes only:

• To make the site work: remembering essential preferences and keeping the site secure and stable.
• To understand usage: measuring traffic in aggregate (such as page views and approximate region) so we can improve the site, without identifying you personally.

Types of cookies we use

• Strictly necessary: the bare minimum required for the site to function and stay secure. These can't be switched off without breaking parts of the site, so they don't require consent.
• Analytics: we use Google Analytics 4 (Google Consent Mode v2) to measure visits, such as page views and approximate region, so we can improve the site. Advertising storage stays denied, so we don't use your data for ads. You can turn analytics off at any time using Reject in the cookie banner; your choice is remembered on your device.

What we don't use

We do not use:

• Advertising or retargeting cookies.
• Cross-site tracking that follows you around the internet.
• Cookies that sell or share your behaviour with data brokers.

Your choices

When you first visit, a cookie banner lets you Accept or Reject analytics. If you reject, we switch analytics off and won't load it on future visits; if you accept, it stays on. We remember your choice on your device so you're not asked again. You can change your mind at any time by clearing this site's data in your browser, which brings the banner back.

Third-party cookies

Some optional features may rely on reputable third parties (for example, an embedded booking or chat widget). If you interact with one, that provider may set its own cookies under its own policy. We choose privacy-respecting providers and keep such embeds to the minimum needed to run the service. Our analytics provider is Google Analytics 4, described above.

Managing cookies

You're always in control. You can view, block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Every major browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge) lets you do this, and offers a "private" or "incognito" mode. Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop parts of the site from working properly.

Do Not Track

Because we don't run cross-site tracking in the first place, there's nothing for a "Do Not Track" signal to switch off here. We honour the spirit of those signals by simply not tracking you across the web.

Websites we build for our customers

For sites we design and manage for customers, we configure cookie and privacy compliance appropriate to that site and its audience, including a cookie consent notice and banner where the law requires one (for example, under UK/EU rules). Each customer site has its own cookie and privacy policies tailored to its needs.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy if our use of cookies changes. We'll update the "last updated" date above whenever we do.
