2. What cookies and similar technologies are
Cookies are small text files stored on a browser or device when a website is visited.
A website may also use related technologies such as:
- Local storage.
- Session storage.
- Scripts and tags.
- Tracking pixels.
- Embedded media.
- Device or browser identifiers.
These technologies may be used to make a website function, remember choices, protect forms, measure use or load content supplied by another service.
In this policy, we use the word cookies to cover cookies and comparable technologies unless the context requires otherwise.
3. Who sets cookies
Cookies may be:
First-party cookies
These are set by our website or on our behalf.
Third-party cookies
These are set by another organisation whose functionality or content is used on the website.
Examples may include a security provider, analytics service, video provider, review platform or social-media service.
Third parties may use information collected through their technologies under their own privacy and cookie terms.
4. Our legal approach to cookies
We may use strictly necessary cookies without asking for consent where they are required to:
- Provide a service requested by the visitor.
- Operate core website functionality.
- Protect the website and forms.
- Record and respect cookie choices.
- Maintain secure communications.
We will request consent before setting non-essential preference, statistics, analytics, advertising or tracking cookies where consent is required.
Non-essential categories should remain disabled unless and until you make a positive choice through the cookie banner or preference controls.
You can reject non-essential cookies without losing access to the main website content. Some optional content or features may not function until the relevant category is enabled.
ICO guidance requires clear information and valid consent for non-essential cookies, and strictly necessary cookies are treated differently.
5. Categories of cookies we may use
Strictly necessary cookies
These technologies are required for important website functions.
They may be used for:
- Website and server security.
- Preventing spam and malicious submissions.
- Cloudflare Turnstile verification.
- Maintaining secure connections.
- Website load balancing.
- WordPress and Elementor functionality.
- Contact-form functionality.
- Recording cookie-consent decisions.
- Remembering whether the consent banner has been answered.
These cookies cannot normally be switched off through our preference tool because the website or a requested function may not work correctly without them.
You may still block them in your browser, but parts of the website may then fail.
Preference cookies
Preference cookies may remember optional choices such as:
- Display preferences.
- Language or regional settings.
- Whether optional website features have been enabled.
- Certain interface choices.
These are used only after consent where required.
Statistics and analytics cookies
Where analytics is enabled, these technologies may help us understand:
- How many people visit the website.
- Which pages are visited.
- How people reach the website.
- Whether forms and navigation work.
- How the website performs.
- Which content is useful.
We use this information to improve the website.
Where these technologies require consent, they remain disabled until consent is given.
Marketing and tracking cookies
Marketing or tracking technologies may be used to:
- Measure advertising.
- Understand campaign performance.
- Build profiles of browsing activity.
- Personalise advertising.
- Track activity across websites.
We will not use marketing or tracking cookies unless the appropriate consent or other legal condition has been satisfied.
Embedded-content cookies
Pages may include or link to content from services such as:
- Google or Trustindex reviews.
- Google Maps.
- YouTube.
- Facebook.
- Instagram.
- LinkedIn.
- X.
- WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger.
A simple external link will not necessarily set a cookie before it is selected. An embedded video, map, feed, review widget or other interactive feature may contact the relevant third party and set cookies or collect technical information.
Where required, embedded content should remain blocked until the relevant cookie category has been enabled.
6. Services used on the website
Depending on the website’s current configuration, cookies or comparable technologies may be associated with:
WordPress and Elementor
These technologies provide the website and its interface. Some cookies may be necessary for administration, security or website functionality.
Complianz
Complianz is used to display the cookie banner, record consent choices and help control optional technologies.
Contact Form 7 and Flamingo
Contact Form 7 provides the website enquiry form. Flamingo may store submitted enquiries within WordPress.
These services do not require advertising cookies, although necessary security or form-related technologies may operate alongside them.
Cloudflare and Cloudflare Turnstile
Cloudflare may be used to protect the website, deliver content and check whether form activity appears to come from a genuine person rather than an automated system.
Cloudflare may process technical information such as an IP address, browser or device characteristics and security signals.
Email and SMTP services
When a form is submitted, the enquiry and automatic response may be sent through an email or SMTP service. This processing is related to the form submission rather than advertising cookies.
Review and social-media services
Review or social-media widgets may receive technical data when they are loaded. Where required, these should be controlled by cookie consent.
7. Cookies currently detected
This section should display the current cookie list, including available information about:
- Cookie or technology name.
- Provider.
- Purpose.
- Category.
- Expiry or retention period.
- Whether the technology is first-party or third-party.
The cookie list must be regenerated whenever plugins, scripts, analytics, embedded services or advertising systems are added or materially changed.
8. Managing your consent
You may:
- Accept optional cookie categories.
- Reject optional cookie categories.
- Enable or disable individual available categories.
- Change your choices later.
- Withdraw consent.
Withdrawing consent does not make earlier processing unlawful, but it should stop the relevant optional technologies from being used in the future.
9. Browser controls
Most browsers allow you to:
- Block cookies.
- Delete existing cookies.
- Block third-party cookies.
- Clear site data.
- Receive warnings before cookies are stored.
Browser instructions vary. Blocking all cookies may prevent the website, contact form, cookie controls or security services from functioning correctly.
Browser settings do not necessarily stop all scripts, pixels or local-storage technologies. The website consent controls should therefore also be used.
10. International processing
Some cookie, security, analytics, review, video or social-media providers may process information outside the United Kingdom.
Where personal information is transferred outside the UK, the relevant processing is addressed in our Privacy Policy.
11. Changes to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when:
- Website technology changes.
- A plugin or service is added or removed.
- The detected cookie list changes.
- Legal or regulatory guidance changes.
- We change how analytics or embedded content is used.
The latest version will be displayed on this page with an updated date.
