What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser when you visit. They allow the site to remember certain things about your visit — such as your cookie consent choice — so it does not need to ask again each time.
Cookies are widely used and do not cause harm to your device. You can view and delete cookies through your browser settings at any time.
Cookies We Use

Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on this site are set by third-party services that help us operate the website. These include:
- Google Analytics — measures website usage in anonymised aggregate form
- Google Maps — embedded on our homepage to display our location; Google's own cookie policy applies to the embedded map
- Google Ads — used only if marketing cookies are accepted
These third-party services have their own privacy and cookie policies, which we encourage you to review directly on their websites.
Cookie Duration
Session cookies are temporary and are deleted automatically when you close your browser. They are used to maintain your state during a single visit.
Persistent cookies remain in your browser for a set period — typically between 90 days and 24 months depending on their purpose — or until you delete them manually.
Your cookie consent preference is stored in your browser's localStorage rather than as a cookie, so it persists until you clear your browser data or update your preferences on this page.
