Cookies and website services

Essential cookies may be used for website operation, security and remembering your cookie choices. CookieAdmin manages the site’s cookie notice and consent preferences. Wordfence helps protect the website and may process technical information such as IP addresses to detect malicious activity. The site may also load fonts supplied by Google, which can involve your browser connecting to Google’s services.

Where optional cookies are introduced, they should only be used in line with the choices presented through the cookie notice. You can also control cookies through your browser settings.

WhatsApp and external links

If you contact us through WhatsApp, your information is also handled by WhatsApp and Meta under their own privacy terms. Links to other websites and services are governed by their respective privacy policies.

Sharing and international processing

We do not sell personal information. We may use trusted hosting, email, security and communications providers where needed to operate the website and respond to you. Some providers may process information outside the UK; where this happens, the provider is responsible for using appropriate safeguards required by data-protection law.

How long we keep information

We keep enquiry information only for as long as it is reasonably needed to respond, manage a potential or active client relationship, maintain business records, resolve disputes or meet legal obligations. Technical and security logs are retained according to the operational and security settings of the website and its providers.

Your rights

Under UK data-protection law, you may have rights to access, correct, erase or restrict the use of your personal information, object to certain processing, and request a portable copy where applicable. Where processing relies on consent, you may withdraw that consent.
