COOKIE POLICY.
How this website uses essential storage, analytics and consent controls.
Last updated: 29 July 2026.
What cookies and browser storage are
Cookies are small files placed on your device. Websites may also use browser storage for similar purposes, including remembering preferences and measuring activity.
Consent choices
Non-essential analytics and marketing storage are denied by default. You can accept all, reject non-essential technologies or manage the categories separately. Your choice is saved in your browser for up to 180 days so the website does not repeatedly ask you.
You can reopen the controls at any time using Cookie settings in the footer.
Essential storage
The website uses local browser storage to remember your cookie preference. This is necessary to respect the choice you make. Hosting, security and contact-form providers may also process limited technical information needed to deliver their services.
Google Tag Manager
Google Tag Manager is used to manage measurement tags. The container itself is not used as a substitute for consent. Google Consent Mode communicates your choice to supported Google tags so they can adjust their behaviour.
Google Analytics 4
If you allow analytics, Google Analytics 4 may use identifiers such as _ga and a property-specific _ga_… cookie to distinguish visits and understand how pages are used. These cookies may remain for up to two years, depending on the analytics configuration and your browser settings.
Analytics information may include pages visited, approximate location derived from IP address, device and browser information, traffic source and interactions such as contact clicks. It is used to understand website performance and improve the service, not to identify visitors personally.
Marketing storage
Marketing storage is currently provided as a separate preference so advertising-measurement tags can be controlled if they are added through Tag Manager. Such tags should not receive marketing consent unless you actively allow that category.
Third-party services
The website is hosted through Netlify, contact forms are delivered through Web3Forms, Google Fonts supplies typography, and Google Tag Manager manages measurement. Those providers may process limited technical information needed to provide their services.
Changing or deleting your choice
Use the Cookie settings control in the footer to update your choice. You can also clear cookies and local storage through your browser. Blocking essential storage may cause the website to ask for your preference again.
