What cookies are
Cookies are small files a site stores on your device. We use them to keep the site working and to understand how it's used — nothing more.
Cookies we use
Essential cookies keep the site functioning. Outside the UK and EU we also use Google Analytics 4, which sets analytics cookies (_ga and _ga_*) to count visits, tell repeat visits apart, and show us which page produced an enquiry. We run no advertising cookies and no cross-site tracking, and Google Signals and ad personalisation are switched off.
If you are in the UK or EU
We do not load Google Analytics for you at all. No analytics cookies are set, and no analytics data about your visit is collected or sent anywhere. That is why you see no consent banner — there is nothing to consent to beyond the essential cookies that make the site work. We decide this from your browser's own timezone setting, which your browser already knows; we do not look up your IP address, and nothing about you is sent to a location service to make that decision.
Managing cookies
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time, and Google publishes a Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on that blocks GA on every site you visit. Blocking essential cookies may break parts of the site.
