This site is deliberately light on cookies. Nothing tracks you around the internet, and the third party content that would set cookies does not load until you ask it to.
What a cookie is
A cookie is a small file a website stores on your device so it can recognise your browser on the next page. Some are essential to make a site function. Others exist to measure or advertise. This site uses the first kind, and asks before loading anything that uses the second.
What this site sets
| Cookie | Purpose | How long |
|---|---|---|
| Session and security cookies | Set by WordPress to keep the enquiry form secure and to prevent forged submissions. | Session, or up to 24 hours |
| Rate limiting record | A short lived record used to stop automated abuse of the enquiry form. | 10 minutes |
These are strictly necessary. Without them the enquiry form cannot work safely, so they do not require consent.
Third party content that you choose to load
Two things on this site come from other companies, and both are held behind a click:
- Google reviews. The reviews panel shows a button rather than the reviews themselves. Nothing is requested from Google until you press it. Once you do, Google may set its own cookies, governed by Google’s privacy policy rather than ours.
- Instagram posts. Where we show recent work from Instagram, the same applies: a placeholder loads, and Instagram content only loads if you click it.
We have built it this way for two reasons. It is faster, and it means you are not handed to a third party without being asked.
What this site does not do
There is no advertising network on this site. There are no retargeting pixels. We do not build a profile of you, and we do not sell data to anyone.
Where analytics are used, they are configured to measure how the site performs rather than to identify individuals.
Managing cookies
You can delete or block cookies in your browser settings. Every major browser allows this, usually under Privacy or Site Settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies will stop the enquiry form working, in which case ring us on 07487 706530 instead.
