What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites work, remember preferences and understand how the site is used. Similar technologies, such as local storage, work in a similar way.
Cookies we use
Our website doesn't use advertising cookies. It sets a cookie to remember your cookie choices, uses Google Analytics only if you accept statistics cookies, and some pages use third-party services that may set cookies or collect information about your device:
| Service | Where it's used | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Cookie preferences | Every page | Remembers the choices you make in our cookie banner, so we don't ask again on every visit. |
Google Analytics (_ga, _ga_*) | Every page, only if you accept statistics cookies | Tells us how visitors use the site, such as which pages are viewed and how often enquiries are sent, so we can improve it. Kept for up to 2 years. |
| Cloudflare Turnstile | Quote and enquiry forms | Checks that a form is being sent by a person rather than a spam bot. Cloudflare looks at information about your browser and device to do this; it isn't used for advertising. |
| Google Maps | Home page and contact page | Shows the area we cover. Google may set cookies when the map loads. |
Google Analytics and Google Maps are run by Google, and their use of information is covered by Google's privacy policy. Cloudflare Turnstile is covered by Cloudflare's privacy policy.
Google Analytics only runs once you've agreed to statistics cookies in our cookie banner. You can change your choice at any time from the Manage consent tab at the bottom of the page.
