A cookie is a small text file that a website asks your browser to store on your device. The file contains a name, a value and some attributes — such as the domain that set it and when it expires. When you return to the site, your browser sends the cookie back, which allows the site to recognise your browser or to remember something about your visit.
Cookies are ordinary text. They are not programs, they cannot run code, and they cannot read files on your device. A cookie can, however, carry an identifier that a server uses to link separate requests to the same browser, which is why the way cookies are used matters more than what they technically are.
Cookies are the best-known mechanism, but not the only one capable of storing or reading information on your device:
This site uses server log files, which any hosted website does. It does not use advertising pixels and does not fingerprint visitors.
Cookies are usually described in two ways at once.
By who sets them. A first-party cookie is set by the domain you are visiting. A third-party cookie is set by a different domain — typically an advertiser, an analytics provider or an embedded service — and is the mechanism that allows behaviour to be followed across sites.
By how long they last. A session cookie is discarded when you close your browser. A persistent cookie remains until it expires or you delete it, and it is the persistent cookie that gives rise to most privacy concerns, because it survives the visit.
We keep this deliberately narrow. The cookies associated with this site are:
Because nothing on this site requires you to log in, there is no authentication cookie, and no account for one to belong to.
Our hosting provider records standard technical information each time a page is requested: IP address, browser and device type, operating system, referring page, requested URL, response status, and date and time. This data exists on every web server and is used to serve pages, diagnose faults, and identify abusive or automated traffic.
We treat this as operational data. It is handled under the Privacy Policy, retained for a limited period, and not combined with anything else to profile an individual.
To be explicit, this site does not use:
We do not sell or share cookie-derived data, and we have no commercial relationship with any advertising network in connection with this site.
No advertising network or data broker is permitted to set cookies through this site. Where a service provider is used to host, deliver or protect the site, it acts on our instructions and is contractually restricted from using the data for its own purposes.
Pages may occasionally link to external material. A link is not an embed: following it takes you to another site, and from that point that site's own cookie and privacy policy governs. We do not control those sites and we do not accept responsibility for their practices.
You control cookies through your browser. Every major browser allows you to see what has been stored, delete it, and set rules for the future:
Most browsers also let you block third-party cookies specifically, clear data automatically when the browser closes, or make an exception for a single site. On mobile devices the equivalent controls sit in the browser app's settings, and on iOS you may also need to adjust tracking permissions at the system level.
Private or incognito windows discard cookies at the end of the session, which is the simplest way to visit a site without leaving anything behind.
The site does not rely on cookies for anything essential. Blocking them does not prevent any page from being read or an enquiry from being submitted. Blocking them may disable minor conveniences, such as remembered form input.
Other sites differ — many do depend on cookies for login, cart and preference state — so if you block cookies globally you should expect some sites elsewhere to behave unexpectedly.
Some browsers send a "Do Not Track" header, and newer ones may send Global Privacy Control. There is no single agreed standard for how sites must respond, and this site does not change its behaviour in response to these signals — not because we disregard them, but because our default behaviour is already the minimum they ask for: no advertising cookies, no cross-site tracking, no profiling.
If our use of cookies ever changes, this page will be updated before the change takes effect. The site does not display a cookie consent banner because it does not currently set anything that requires consent. If that changes, this page will be updated first.

What we set, what our hosting provider records, and how you control it — without the usual boilerplate.
Yes, but minimally. We set only what is required for the site to function — for example, to remember form state during a session.
We do not use advertising cookies, behavioural tracking or cross-site profiling.
Our hosting provider records standard technical information such as IP address, browser type and pages requested, which is used to keep the site operating and secure.
If that ever changes and analytics or preference cookies are introduced, this page will be updated before they are set.
No advertising networks or data brokers are permitted to set cookies through this site. Where a service provider is used to operate the site, it acts on our instructions only.
Links to external sites are governed by those sites' own policies, which we do not control.
Through your browser settings, which allow you to block or delete cookies for this site or for all sites. Each browser handles this differently, and the help documentation for your browser is the authoritative reference.
You can also browse in a private window, which discards cookies at the end of the session.
No. The site and its enquiry forms continue to function without cookies, because we do not rely on them for anything essential.
Disabling cookies may affect minor conveniences such as remembered form inputs, but nothing that prevents you from contacting the office.
The cookies associated with this site cannot, because they carry no personal identifiers and this site has no accounts or login to attach them to.
Server logs do include an IP address, which is technical information recorded by our hosting provider. That is handled under the Privacy Policy and is not combined with anything else to identify or profile a visitor.
No — and deliberately so. A banner exists to obtain consent for cookies that require it. This site sets nothing beyond what is strictly necessary to deliver pages, so there is currently nothing to obtain consent for.
Should that change, this page will be updated before any such cookie is set.
If our use of cookies changes, this page is updated before the change takes effect.
