Cookies Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet or other internet-enabled device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the website owner about how the site is being used. Cookies are sent from our web server to your browser and stored locally on your device. Each time you return to our website, your browser sends these cookies back to our server, allowing us to recognise you and tailor your experience accordingly.

Cookies do not typically contain personally identifiable information on their own, but they may be linked to personal data that you have provided to us directly. Some cookies are set by us (first-party cookies), while others may be set by third-party services that appear on our pages (third-party cookies).

2. Types of Cookies We Use

We use a combination of the following cookie types on our website. Where required by law, we will ask for your consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device.

3. Your Cookie Choices & Controls

You have the right to decide whether to accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can exercise your preferences in the following ways:

1. Cookie Consent Banner. When you first visit our website, you will be presented with a cookie consent notice. You can choose to accept all cookies, decline non-essential cookies, or manage your preferences individually by category.
2. Browser Settings. Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings preferences. You can configure your browser to refuse all cookies, accept only certain types, or alert you when a cookie is being set. Please refer to your browser's help documentation for guidance on how to manage cookie settings.
3. Third-Party Opt-Outs. For analytics and advertising cookies set by third parties, you may be able to opt out directly through those providers — for example, via the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on or the IAB's Your Online Choices tool.

Please note that restricting or disabling cookies may impact the functionality of our website and may prevent certain features from working correctly, such as contact forms or language preferences.

4. How Long Do Cookies Last?

Cookies are either session-based or persistent:

• Session cookies are temporary and are deleted automatically from your device when you close your browser. They are used to maintain continuity as you navigate between pages during a single visit.
• Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period of time after your browsing session ends. The retention period varies depending on the purpose of the cookie — for example, preference cookies may be retained for up to 12 months, while analytics cookies may be retained for up to 24 months. You can delete persistent cookies at any time via your browser settings.

5. Privacy & Data Protection

We are committed to protecting your privacy. Cookies used on our website do not directly identify you as an individual unless you have voluntarily provided personal information (for example, by submitting a quote request). Any personal data collected in connection with cookies is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable data protection legislation, including the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. We do not sell or share your personal data with third parties for their own marketing purposes without your explicit consent. Where third-party services set cookies on our website, those third parties are responsible for their own data practices, and we encourage you to review their respective privacy policies.

6. Updates to This Cookies Policy

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, updates to applicable legislation, or improvements to our website. Any changes will be published on this page with a revised "Last updated" date at the top of the document. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies. Where changes are significant, we may also notify you via a cookie consent prompt when you next visit our website.
