Cookie Policy
This policy explains which cookies our website uses, why we use them and how you can control them. Last updated: 19 October 2026.
Our Promise: Your Data Is Safe With Us
- Never mishandled. We treat your personal information with care and confidentiality at all times.
- Only used for our services. We use your data only to respond to you and provide the services you ask for.
- Never leaked or sold. We keep your data secure and never sell, rent or give it away.
- In line with UK law. We work in line with UK government rules and regulations, including the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website saves on your device. They help the website work properly and remember simple choices. Some websites also use them to track visitors for advertising, but we do not.
2. The short version
- We only use what is needed for the website to work.
- We do not use advertising, profiling or tracking cookies.
- We do not sell or share cookie information with advertisers.
- Because of this, you will not see a cookie banner asking for consent to tracking.
3. Cookies and storage we use
Strictly necessary: needed for the website to work and to keep it secure:
- WordPress login cookies (wordpress_logged_in, wordpress_sec, wordpress_test_cookie): only set for our own staff when they log in to manage the website. Visitors do not receive these.
- Security and performance cookies: our hosting provider may set small technical cookies to protect the site and help pages load quickly. They do not identify you.
Remembering simple choices: stored in your browser for the current visit only, and deleted when you close the tab:
- Welcome popup: remembers that you have already seen it, so it does not appear on every page.
- Chat prompt: remembers that you have seen the "Need help?" message on the chat button.
None of these contain your name, email address or any other personal details.
4. Third-party services
Some features on our website come from other companies:
- Google Fonts: provides the fonts on our pages. Your browser connects to Google to load them, which shares your IP address with Google. Google Fonts does not set cookies.
- WhatsApp: when you choose to chat with us on WhatsApp, you leave our website and WhatsApp's own privacy and cookie policies apply.
- Partner websites: links to our partners open their websites, which have their own cookie policies.
5. How to control cookies
You can view, block or delete cookies at any time in your browser settings. Most browsers also let you browse privately so that nothing is stored after you close the window. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop some parts of the website from working properly.

6. Following UK rules
We use cookies in line with UK government rules and regulations, including the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and the UK GDPR. If we ever add cookies that are not strictly necessary, such as analytics, we will update this policy and ask for your permission first.
