Cookie Policy
What this website stores in your browser, and why.
Last updated: 10 September 2026
The short version
This website does not use advertising cookies, analytics cookies or third-party tracking. We do not profile visitors and we do not share browsing data with advertisers. The only choice we ask you to make is whether to load the Google Maps embed on our contact page.
What we do set
- PHPSESSID — a strictly necessary session cookie. It exists only so that the enquiry form can protect itself against cross-site request forgery and can show you a confirmation message after you submit. It contains no personal information and expires when you close your browser.
- mk_consent — a strictly necessary first-party cookie that records the choice you made in the cookie banner, so we do not ask again on every page. It stores only your preference, lasts six months, and is never shared.
Strictly necessary cookies of this kind do not require consent under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations, because the site cannot provide the service you asked for without them.
Third-party content
- Google Maps — embedded on the contact page only, and only after you agree. Until you accept, we show a placeholder with a plain link to Maps instead, and Google receives nothing. You can change this decision at any time using the link in the footer.
- Google Fonts — used to load the site typeface. Google may log the request, including your IP address, as part of delivering the font files. This is treated as necessary to render the site.
Managing cookies
Use the link in the footer to review or change your choice at any time. You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings — note that blocking the session cookie will prevent the enquiry form from working, though you can still contact us by phone or email.

If analytics or marketing tools are added to this site later, they must be added to the consent banner as a separate opt-in category, and this page updated to match. Do not fire any analytics tag before consent is recorded.
