Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They allow the website to remember information about your visit — for example, your preferences, or whether you have previously accepted certain terms.

Cookies are widely used. Some are necessary for the basic operation of a website; others help website operators understand how visitors use their site so they can improve it over time; and others are used for advertising and tracking purposes.

Cookies do not contain your name or other directly identifying personal information unless you have provided that information to the website. They do, however, contain a unique identifier that can, in combination with other data, be used to identify you.

2. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies on this website to:

Ensure the website operates correctly (essential cookies)
Remember your cookie consent preferences so we do not ask you again on each visit
Understand, in broad terms, how visitors find and use the site, so we can improve it over time (analytics cookies, only with your consent)
Understand how visitors reach our website from advertisements, if any are running (marketing cookies, only with your consent)

We do not use cookies to build advertising profiles, to track you across other websites, or to sell your data to third parties. Our use of cookies is modest and proportionate.

3. Cookie Categories

Essential cookies Essential

These are necessary for the website to function. Without them, the site cannot operate correctly. They include cookies that remember your consent preferences and maintain the integrity of your browsing session. They do not require your consent and cannot be switched off, though you can set your browser to block them — in which case some parts of the website may not work as intended.

Analytics cookies Analytics

These help us understand how visitors interact with the site: which pages are most visited, how long visitors spend, and where they came from. This information is aggregated and does not identify individuals. We use these only with your consent. If you decline, the site continues to work normally.

Marketing cookies Marketing

These may be placed by advertising platforms we use to help us understand whether visitors reached us through a particular advertisement. We use these only with your consent. If you decline, no tracking of this type occurs.

Preference cookies Preferences

These remember choices you have made on the website — for example, your cookie consent decision. They make the website behave more conveniently on return visits. They are technically essential to the consent system and are placed when you make a choice.

4. Cookies We Use

The table below lists the specific cookies currently in use on this website. We update this table when our cookie use changes.

Note: Some cookies in the analytics and marketing categories are only placed if the relevant advertising tools are active on the site at the time of your visit. If a tool is not currently active, its associated cookies are not set.

5. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on this site are placed by third-party providers — primarily Google Analytics and, where advertising is active, Google Ads, Facebook, and Microsoft. These providers have their own privacy policies governing their use of the data collected by those cookies. We have no control over third-party cookies once they are placed.

You can review the privacy policies of these providers here:

Google: policies.google.com/privacy
Meta (Facebook): facebook.com/privacy/policy
Microsoft: privacy.microsoft.com

This website also embeds a Google Maps iframe on its homepage for directions purposes. Google may set cookies when this map is loaded. These are subject to Google's own cookie policy.

6. Managing Cookies
