1.What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that websites save in your browser. Similar technologies such as session storage work in a similar way. They help websites remember information about your visit, such as your preferences, and help third party services work properly.
2.How Our Website Uses Them
We keep tracking to what helps us understand and improve our website. At the moment:
- Session storage: we save one small setting in your browser session so that our WhatsApp chat popup opens automatically only once per visit. It contains no personal information and is cleared when you close your browser tab.
- Google Tag Manager: we use Google Tag Manager to manage measurement and marketing tags on our website. The tags it loads, such as Google Analytics or advertising conversion tags, may set cookies. See the Analytics and Advertising section below.
- We never sell your information: we do not sell personal information collected through our website.

4.Types of Cookies Explained
Websites generally use cookies and similar technologies for four purposes:
- Essential: needed for a website to work properly.
- Functional: remember choices to improve your experience. Our WhatsApp popup setting is a simple functional item.
- Analytics: measure how visitors use a website. We may use these through Google Tag Manager.
- Advertising: measure the results of ads and help show relevant ads. We may use these through Google Tag Manager when we run advertising campaigns.
5.Third Party Services
Some pages load content from third party services, which may set their own cookies or receive technical information such as your IP address and browser details:
- Google Maps: the maps on our About Us and Contact pages are provided by Google and may set cookies.
- Google Fonts: our website loads the Lexend font from Google Fonts.
- WhatsApp: when you click a WhatsApp button, you leave our website and WhatsApp's own policies apply.
- Cal.com: the booking calendar on our Home, Contact and Book a Meeting pages is provided by Cal.com. It loads only when you scroll near it, and Cal.com may set its own cookies to make booking work.
These companies control their own cookies. Please read their privacy and cookie policies for details.
6.Forms and the Thank You Page
Our enquiry form does not set cookies on our website. When you submit it, your details are sent to our email inbox through FormSubmit, a third party form delivery service, which handles them under its own policies. After submitting, you are taken to our thank you page, and your first name is included in the page address so the page can greet you. It is shown only in your browser and is not stored by our website.
8.Analytics and Advertising
We use Google Tag Manager to add and manage measurement and marketing tags on our website. Depending on how our tags are set up at any time, these may include:
- Google Analytics: to understand how visitors find and use our website, such as which pages are viewed and which actions are taken, including enquiries sent through our form, WhatsApp clicks and meeting bookings.
- Advertising conversion tags: such as Google Ads or Meta, to measure whether our ads lead to enquiries, for example when our thank you page is viewed.
These services may set cookies and collect information such as pages visited, device and browser details, approximate location and how you reached our website. This information is used in aggregated form to improve our website and marketing, and is handled by the providers under their own privacy policies.
You can opt out of Google Analytics with the Google Analytics opt out browser add on, manage ad personalisation in your Google account settings, and block or delete cookies in your browser at any time.
9.How to Control Cookies
You can block or delete cookies and browser storage at any time through your browser settings. Most browsers let you block third party cookies, clear stored data and choose how websites use storage. If you block them, our website will still work, but embedded content like maps may not display properly.
10.Your Choices and Consent
You can control cookies through your browser settings and the opt out tools described above. Where the law in your country requires consent for analytics or advertising cookies, we aim to ask for it before those cookies are used. If you have any questions about the tags we use, please contact us.
11.Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when our website or the services we use change. The latest version will always be on this page. See our Privacy Policy for more about how we handle personal information.
