What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device. They are widely used to make websites work, and to give the people running a site information about how it is being used.
How we use them
This website keeps its use of cookies to a minimum. We use strictly necessary cookies to make the site function, and to protect our enquiry forms from automated spam using Cloudflare Turnstile. These are needed for the site to work and cannot be switched off.
We also use privacy-respecting analytics to understand how many people visit the site and which pages they read. This does not identify you personally and is not used to build a profile of you or to target advertising.
Optional services and privacy choices
Whether optional services need permission before they run depends on your location and the settings for this site. Services you previously declined stay off. If we cannot determine which services are allowed, they stay off.
You can decline optional services or withdraw permission at any time in Cookie settings. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, advertising stays off unless you explicitly allow it in Cookie preferences. This signal does not automatically turn off functional services or analytics.

Functional
Google may set cookies and read your device information when the map loads. See Google's privacy policy for their retention periods.

Third parties
Our website is hosted by Landingsite. Spam protection on our enquiry forms is provided by Cloudflare. These providers may set cookies that are necessary for the services they deliver.
The map on our homepage is provided by Google Maps. It only loads once you have agreed to optional services where your region requires it, and Google may set cookies when it does. The section above lists this and any other optional service along with what it does.
Managing cookies
You can change or withdraw your choices at any time using the Cookie settings link in the footer of every page. Where your region requires permission before an optional service runs, nothing optional is set until you agree; elsewhere you can object at any time.
You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings. The exact steps vary by browser — look under "Settings" and then "Privacy" or "Cookies". Blocking some cookies may affect how parts of this website work.
Changes
If we change how we use cookies we will update this page and revise the date shown at the top.
