Cookie Policy

Last updated: 28 August 2026

1. What cookies are

A cookie is a small text file that a website asks your browser to store on your device. Cookies are widely used to make websites work, to remember your preferences between visits, and to gather information about how a site is used. Similar technologies, such as local storage and pixel tags, can perform comparable functions and are covered by this policy where we use them.

Cookies are described as first-party where they are set by the website you are visiting, and third-party where they are set by another organisation. They are described as session cookies where they are deleted when you close your browser, and persistent where they remain for a defined period.

2. Our approach

We have deliberately kept this website simple. We do not use advertising cookies, we do not use social media tracking pixels, and we do not build profiles of visitors or sell any information about you to third parties.

Under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations, consent is required before setting cookies that are not strictly necessary for a service you have requested. Because this website does not currently set any non-essential cookies, you will not see a consent banner. If that position changes, we will ask for your consent before setting any such cookie and will update this policy first.

3. What this website uses

The table below lists the cookies and similar technologies used on this site.

Name / type	Purpose	Duration
Server access logs (not a cookie)	Our hosting provider records requests made to the site, including IP address, browser type, the page requested and the time. This is used to keep the site available and secure, and to investigate faults or malicious activity.	Typically up to 12 months
Security and load-balancing cookies (strictly necessary, if set by our host)	Some hosting platforms set a short-lived cookie to route requests correctly and to protect against automated abuse. These contain no information that identifies you personally and are not used for analytics.	Session, or up to 24 hours

4. Third-party requests

Some resources on this website are requested from a third party, which means your browser contacts that provider directly and it will receive your IP address and basic technical information as a result.

• Google Fonts — the typefaces used on this site are served by Google Fonts. Google states that requests for fonts are made without cookies and are logged separately from other Google services, but your IP address is necessarily visible to Google in order to deliver the files. Google's own privacy information explains how it handles that data.

We do not embed advertising, social media widgets, chat tools, video players or heat-mapping tools on this website, so no such providers receive information about your visit.

5. Controlling cookies

You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Every major browser lets you see what is stored, delete it, block cookies from particular sites, or block all cookies. The relevant settings are usually found under “Privacy”, “Cookies and site data”, or “Site settings”.

• Chrome — Settings › Privacy and security › Third-party cookies
• Safari — Settings › Privacy
• Edge — Settings › Cookies and site permissions
• Firefox — Settings › Privacy & Security

Because this website does not depend on non-essential cookies, blocking or deleting cookies will not stop it working. Please note that blocking all cookies may affect other websites you use.

Blocking cookies does not prevent your requests from appearing in server access logs, since those are generated by the act of requesting a page rather than by a cookie.

6. Do Not Track

Some browsers can send a “Do Not Track” signal. There is no agreed industry standard for how websites should respond to it. As this website does not track visitors across sites in any event, the signal makes no practical difference to how we handle your visit.

7. Changes to this policy

If we add functionality that requires additional cookies — for example, a client portal, an analytics tool or an appointment booking system — we will update this policy and, where the law requires it, ask for your consent before those cookies are set.
