How we use cookies
Cookies are very small text files that are placed on your machine when you access most websites. We use cookies on our site in order to improve your user experience and to analyse our site traffic. We do not use cookies for personal identification or remarketing purposes.
Upon visiting this site for the first time, you will be greeted with a banner stating the ways in which we use cookies. All non-essential cookies will be disabled until you click the ‘Accept cookies’ button on this banner. If you do not agree with the processes laid out in this policy regarding our use of cookies, you can click the ‘Decline’ button and continue to use our site without these non-essential cookies, but your browsing experience may be affected.
Cookies can improve your experience of using certain websites by remembering your user preferences and enabling pages to load more quickly. They can also be used to autofill entries in forms, such as name and address details, though these are normally controlled by the browser you are using and not the website itself. This may apply if you use our contact form on our Contact page.
We analyse our site traffic using Google Analytics, a web analytics service created by Google that enables site owners to monitor visitor numbers and activity. This service uses IP tracking and cookies to track the basic behaviour of users on our website, such as how long they spend on each page and how many pages they visit. The IP address of each user is anonymised at the earliest possible opportunity and at no point is the user’s full IP address written to disk. This means it is impossible to link the address back to the user and only broad geolocation data can be obtained from it. You can find more information on Google Analytics and how you can control the information it collects by visiting the Google Partner Sites information page.
We use Google Ads, an online advertising platform created and run by Google, to advertise our website and services. As part of this process, we make use of conversion tracking, which tells us when someone performs a certain action on our website after clicking on one of our adverts. This works by placing a temporary cookie on the user’s computer when they click on one of our adverts, which gets automatically deleted after 30 days. If the user subsequently performs a specific conversion action on our website before this cookie expires, such as sending a message using our contact form, we will be able to link this action with the advert that was clicked on in the first place. This process is purely for statistical purposes and is not used by us in any way for personal identification, remarketing or any other form of advertising. You can find out more about how Google processes information they collect from people using their services by reading Google’s Privacy Policy.
We use Microsoft Ads, an online advertising platform created and run by Microsoft, to advertise our website and services. As part of this process, we make use of conversion tracking, which tells us when someone performs a certain action on our website after clicking on one of our adverts. This works by placing a temporary cookie on the user’s computer when they click on one of our adverts, which gets automatically deleted after 30 days. If the user subsequently performs a specific conversion action on our website before this cookie expires, such as sending a message using our contact form, we will be able to link this action with the advert that was clicked on in the first place. This process is purely for statistical purposes and is not used by us in any way for personal identification, remarketing or any other form of advertising. You can find out more about how Microsoft processes information they collect from people using their services by reading Microsoft’s Privacy Policy.
We use Google Tag Manager, a tag management system created and run by Google, to help our website run more efficiently and to make sure that no non-essential cookies are enabled before user permission is given. Tags are small snippets of code placed on our website that tell certain processes to activate under particular conditions, such as when a page is viewed or a button is clicked. Google Tag Manager does not place any cookies itself, but some of the tags it activates do if user permission has been given beforehand. You can find out more about the correct usage of Google Tag Manager by reading the Google Tag Manager Use Policy.
If, for any reason, you wish to disable cookies on this site, the easiest way is to click the ‘Decline’ button on the Cookie Policy banner that appears on your first visit, as explained previously. If this is no longer visible, you can disable cookies from this site and others in your browser settings. If you are unsure how to do this, we recommend consulting the Help section of your browser or taking a look at the instructions on the Cookies And You website, which offers guidance for all modern browsers.
