Cookie Policy

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They serve various functions from remembering your preferences to tracking how you use the site. The use of cookies is regulated by the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and, where relevant, the UK GDPR.

Why We Use Cookies

We use cookies to:

• Ensure the basic functionality of the website (e.g., navigation, form completion).
• Understand how users interact with our site through analytics.
• Tailor your browsing experience and remember preferences.
• Enable marketing and advertising functionalities through third-party services.

Types of Cookies We Use

We categorise cookies into the following:

In line with ICO guidelines, we will only place non-essential cookies (analytics, functional, marketing) on your device after obtaining your informed consent.

Consent & Cookie Banners

On your first visit, you will see a cookie banner that allows you to either Accept All, Reject Non-Essential, or Manage Preferences.

Consent must be active, clear, and freely given—no pre-ticked boxes or implied consent allowed.

You can withdraw or modify your consent at any time via the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer.

Implementation status: these banner and preference controls are planned and are not yet available on this website.

Third-Party Cookies

We use cookies from third parties (e.g., Google Analytics, social media platforms) to deliver services and features like embedded content. These services may collect your data in line with their own privacy policies, which you should review separately.

Current setup: Google Analytics and marketing tags are not installed in the website code. Loading the optional map or visiting an external service may involve that service’s own cookies or data processing.

No Cookie Walls

Access to our site is not conditional on accepting non-essential cookies. This ensures that consent is truly optional and freely given—aligned with ICO expectations.

Consent Record-Keeping

We maintain records of your cookie preferences to demonstrate compliance with PECR and UK GDPR standards. This includes details of when and how consent was obtained.

Implementation status: consent record-keeping is planned; no in-site cookie preference records are currently collected by this feature.

User Controls

You can manage or block cookies via your browser settings. You can also delete existing cookies. Note that disabling certain cookies may affect website functionality.

Until in-site Cookie Settings are available, use the Help or privacy settings in your browser for instructions on managing cookies.

Ongoing Compliance

• We review and update our cookie usage regularly to remain aligned with evolving ICO guidance and enforcement trends.
• Non-compliance concerns can result in enforcement action, including fines under PECR. The ICO has heightened enforcement on cookie compliance in 2025.
