3. Cookie Categories Explained
Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website to function. They do not collect data that could be used for marketing. Because they are required for the site to operate, they cannot be switched off through our consent mechanism, though you may disable them in your browser settings β doing so may affect your ability to use certain features of the site.
Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors use the site β which pages are visited most, how long people spend on each page, and whether visitors find what they are looking for. All data collected is aggregated and anonymised. We use Google Analytics for this purpose. Analytics cookies are only set if you accept them.
Marketing Cookies
These cookies record how you arrived at our website, so we understand which channels are bringing visitors to us. We do not use this data to serve you advertisements on other websites. Marketing cookies are only set if you accept them.
4. How We Obtain Consent
When you first visit our website, a consent banner appears at the bottom of the screen. You are given the option to accept all cookies or to accept essential cookies only.
Your choice is stored in your browser's local storage under the key pg_cookie_consent. The banner will not appear again on that browser and device for 12 months, or until you clear your local storage.
You can withdraw or update your consent at any time using the preference panel below.
5. Manage Your Cookie Preferences
Use the controls below to review and update your current cookie preferences. Changes take effect immediately and are saved in your browser for 12 months.
6. Managing Cookies Through Your Browser
Most browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies, to notify you when a cookie is being set, or to delete cookies after each session. The relevant settings are typically found under Privacy, Security, or Site Settings in your browser's options menu.
Please be aware that disabling certain cookies may affect your experience on our website and on other websites you visit.
For Google Analytics specifically, you can opt out by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
7. Third-Party Cookies
Our website embeds a Google Maps frame on the contact section of our home page. Google may set its own cookies when this frame loads. Those cookies are subject to Google's Privacy Policy.
We do not embed social media buttons or any other third-party widgets that set cookies without your knowledge.
