Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, and to provide information to site owners. This page explains what cookies this website uses, why, and the choices you have. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
We keep things deliberately simple: this website does not use advertising, marketing or social-media tracking cookies, and we do not run third-party analytics.
Your consent
The only cookies this website sets itself are strictly necessary for it to function, and these do not require consent under UK law (the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations). We do not set any analytics, advertising or profiling cookies, so there is no cookie banner asking you to opt in.
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are required for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are set automatically, do not identify you personally, and are not used for tracking.

External services
Our contact page links to Google Maps rather than embedding a map. Google Maps is not loaded as part of this website. If you choose to open the link, you leave this site and use Google Maps under Google's privacy policy.
Our fonts are loaded from Google Fonts, which serves font files without setting cookies.
Managing cookies
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings - including blocking third-party cookies entirely. Most browsers let you see what cookies are stored and delete them individually, or block cookies from particular sites or all sites. Guidance for the major browsers is available at aboutcookies.org. Please note that blocking the strictly necessary cookies above may affect how this site functions.
Changes to this policy
We review this policy when the website changes, and will update the "last updated" date above whenever we do. Any changes take effect as soon as the revised policy is published here.
