Cookie Policy

Last Updated: May 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how our website uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to recognise you when you visit our site. It explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control our use of them.

We use the CookieAdmin plugin to manage your cookie preferences, maintain anonymised user consent records, and ensure our website remains fully compliant with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

  • First-party cookies: Cookies set by the website owner (us).
  • Third-party cookies: Cookies set by parties other than the website owner (e.g., Google Analytics or embedded video players). These enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website.

2. Why Do We Use Cookies?

We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our website to operate—we refer to these as "necessary" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance their overall experience on our online platform.

3. Categories of Cookies We Use

Through the CookieAdmin preference center, you can review and change your granular consent settings at any time for the following categories:

A. Necessary Cookies (Always Active)

These cookies are strictly required to provide you with services available through our website and to use some of its features, such as secure forms or managing your privacy choices via the CookieAdmin banner (cookieadmin_consent).

Cookie ID Provider Purpose Expiry

B. Functional Cookies

These cookies allow our website to remember choices you make when you use the site (such as storing your items in a WooCommerce shopping cart or remembering your layout selections).

Name Description Expiry

C. Analytical / Performance Cookies

These cookies collect information that is used either in aggregate form to help us understand how our website is being used, or how effective our marketing campaigns are, allowing us to customize the site for you. To protect your data, all user IP addresses are automatically anonymised by our configuration.

Name Description Expiry

D. Marketing / Advertisement Cookies

These cookies are used to make advertising messages more relevant to you. They perform functions like preventing the same ad from continuously reappearing, ensuring that ads are properly displayed for advertisers, and in some cases selecting advertisements that are based on your interests.

Name Description Expiry

4. How Can I Control or Change My Preferences?

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie rights by setting your preferences inside the CookieAdmin Consent Banner when you first visit our site, or via the interactive Re-consent Icon (floating widget) accessible on the edge of your screen.

The CookieAdmin preference center allows you to select which categories of cookies you choose to accept or reject. Necessary cookies cannot be disabled as they are essential to deliver the website securely.

Alternatively, you can modify your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies through your browser settings, you may still use our website, though your access to some functionality and areas may be restricted.

5. Data Privacy & Consent Storage

All user consent selections processed by CookieAdmin are completely self-hosted and securely stored directly inside our local website database rather than an external cloud server. Consent logs record anonymous technical variables and localized country regions to verify legal compliance without creating identifiable profiling of our visitors.

6. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please re-visit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.

If you have any questions about our use of cookies or other technologies, please contact us through our main website contact channels.
