Cookie Policy

Cookies are small files that a website can save in your browser. Websites can also keep small pieces of information in your browser’s “local storage”, which works in a similar way. This policy covers both.

The first time you visit, this website asks what you are happy for it to use. You can choose Deny, which allows only what is necessary; Allow All; or Customise, to switch individual categories on or off. Until you have chosen, nothing optional is used.

You can change or withdraw your choices at any time by selecting Cookie Settings at the bottom of any page. We ask again after six months, or sooner if what we are asking about changes.

Your choice is kept in your own browser, in its local storage, under the name rr_consent. It records which categories you allowed, when you chose, and which version of the question you answered. It contains nothing that identifies you, it is not sent to us, and it is kept for six months.

Browsing this website does not set any cookies. For visitors, the only necessary storage is the record of your cookie choices described above. The fonts and images you see are served from this website itself rather than from other companies.

The people who manage this website sign in to it, and WordPress — the software the website runs on — sets cookies that are strictly necessary for that. They are never set for ordinary visitors.

This category is for tools that measure how a website is used and how well it performs. We do not use any analytics or performance tools on this website at present.

If that changes, those tools will only run if you have allowed this category, and this policy will be updated to name them.

This category is for advertising and marketing tools. We do not use any on this website at present, and we do not use advertising or social media tracking.

If that changes, those tools will only run if you have allowed this category, and this policy will be updated to name them.

This category is for content supplied by other companies and loaded from their servers.

Where this website shows reviews from Google, they are displayed using a widget provided by Elfsight. The widget stays switched off until you allow External Content. If you do, it is loaded from Elfsight’s servers, and Elfsight and Google may set their own cookies and receive your IP address and details of your browser. Their own policies explain how they use that information: Elfsight and Google.

If you later switch the category off, the widget is removed and is not loaded again. Cookies those companies have already set in your browser belong to them; you can delete them in your browser’s settings.

If you say no, the rest of the website works in exactly the same way; you simply will not see the reviews widget. Whenever this website is not showing reviews in this way, nothing is loaded from either company.

You can also block or delete cookies, and clear local storage, in your browser’s settings. This website will carry on working if you do, although it will ask for your choices again. Your browser’s help pages explain how.

If you have any question about how this website uses cookies, you can contact us using the enquiry form on this website. Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal information.

We may update this policy from time to time — for example if this website changes. The date at the top of the page shows when it was last updated.
