What are cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. Websites can also store similar information in your browser's local storage. Under UK GDPR and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), we must ask for your consent before using anything that is not strictly necessary.
Strictly necessary
We store your cookie choice in your browser's local storage, so we do not ask you again on every page. This is not a cookie and is never sent to us. It stays until you clear your browser data or we change this policy and ask you again.

With your permission we use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our website, such as which pages are viewed and how people found us. These cookies are not set unless you allow analytics cookies, and they are removed if you later withdraw your consent.

Google Maps (only if you allow it)
The map in the Our Location section is provided by Google Maps and loads only if you allow Maps. Once it loads, Google may set its own cookies, such as NID, to remember your preferences and for its own purposes. These cookies are set by Google, not by us, and are covered by Google's privacy policy at policies.google.com. If you do not allow Maps, you can still use the "Get directions" link, which opens Google Maps in a new tab.
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |

| NID and other Google cookies | Set by Google when the map loads | Set by Google (NID: 6 months) |
