Cookie Policy
In short: this website currently uses no advertising, tracking or analytics cookies. We only use technologies that are strictly necessary, plus one optional browser setting that remembers your light/dark theme, which you can switch off at any time.
1. What are cookies and similar technologies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies, such as browser "local storage", work in the same way and are covered by the same rules. In this policy, "cookies" refers to all of them.
2. The law
The use of cookies is governed by the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR), as amended by the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025. These rules apply whether you visit as an individual or on behalf of a business. We must obtain your consent before setting cookies, except where they are:
- strictly necessary to provide the service you request;
- used solely to remember your website appearance preferences, or solely to collect statistical information to improve the website, provided we give you clear information and a simple, free way to object.

| Name | Provider | Purpose | Category | Duration |

When you submit our contact form, your enquiry is sent to our form provider, Formspree. This does not set cookies on our website; see our Privacy Policy for how that data is handled.
4. Analytics and marketing cookies
We do not currently use analytics or marketing cookies. If we introduce them in future, we will update this policy and ask for your consent through a banner before any such cookie is set. "Accept" and "Reject" will be offered with equal prominence, nothing will be pre-selected, and simply continuing to browse will never be treated as consent.
5. How to control cookies
- Use the link (also in the footer of every page) to change your choices at any time. Withdrawing a choice is as easy as giving it.
- You can also delete or block cookies through your browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect how the website works.
