Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device (computer, phone, or tablet) when you visit it. They are widely used to make websites function correctly, to remember your preferences, and to give the people running a site some understanding of how visitors are using it.

Cookies do not contain personal information by themselves — they store a small identifier that connects your browser to information held elsewhere. Most browsers accept cookies by default, but you can change your settings to decline them or to notify you when they are being set.

2. The Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies Always active

These cookies are necessary for the website to function. They enable core features such as navigation and form submission. They do not store any personal information and cannot be switched off.

Examples: session state, cookie consent preference storage.

Duration: Session or up to 12 months.

Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors arrive at and move through our site, which pages are visited most, and where people leave. The information is aggregated and does not identify individuals.

Examples: Google Analytics page view tracking.

Duration: Up to 26 months.

Marketing Cookies

These cookies are used to deliver content relevant to your interests and to measure the effectiveness of any advertising. They may be set by us or by third-party providers.

Examples: advertising platform pixels, retargeting identifiers.

Duration: Up to 12 months.

Preference Cookies

These cookies remember choices you make on the site, such as your region or display preferences, so that we can provide a more personalised experience on your next visit.

Examples: language setting, display mode preferences.

Duration: Up to 12 months.

3. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on our site are set by third-party services rather than by us. These may include:

Google Analytics — for anonymous website usage statistics
Google Maps — used on our homepage for the office location embed
Font providers (Google Fonts) — for loading typography

We do not control third-party cookies. Please refer to the respective providers' privacy and cookie policies for further information.

4. How Long Do Cookies Last?

Session cookies are temporary and are deleted automatically when you close your browser. They are used for things like remembering what you've done during a visit.

Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period after you close the browser. The duration varies by cookie type — our essential and preference cookies typically last up to 12 months, while analytics cookies may persist for up to 26 months.
