Cookie Policy
This page explains what this site stores on your device, the security services involved, and how to control your browser's stored information.
Appearance preference
The System setting follows your device appearance. If you choose Light or Dark, we save only that choice in your browser's local storage so it stays consistent as you move between pages. It is not sent to us or used for advertising. Choose System, or clear this website's stored data in your browser, to remove the saved choice.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website asks your browser to store on your computer, tablet or phone. They're used for things like remembering that you're logged in, keeping a shopping basket between pages, or, on many sites, following you around the internet to serve you adverts.
Similar technologies such as local storage, session storage and tracking pixels do much the same job. Where this policy says "cookies", it covers those too.
Our approach
We have not added advertising or remarketing tools. Social links open the relevant service only when you choose to follow them:
- No advertising or remarketing cookies. We don't use Google Ads, AdSense, DoubleClick, Meta pixels or anything comparable.
- No cross-site tracking, and no selling or sharing of visitor data with data brokers.
- No social media plugins that phone home while you read.
The only preference we save ourselves is the appearance setting described above. It stays in your browser and is not used to track your visits.
Cookies that may be set
Security services may store information while delivering the site or checking a form. Cloudflare protects this website from automated abuse and may set the cookies below. The enquiry pages also use hCaptcha verification, described in the next section.
Scroll sideways to see all columns.
| Cookie | Set by | Purpose | Expires |
|---|---|---|---|
| __cf_bm | Cloudflare | Bot management. Distinguishes human visitors from automated traffic so the site stays available. | 30 minutes of inactivity |
| cf_clearance | Cloudflare | Records that a security challenge has been passed, so you're not asked repeatedly. | Depends on the configured challenge settings |
These are classed as strictly necessary. They carry no advertising identifier, and they're not used to profile you or build a picture of your interests. Cloudflare's own privacy information is at cloudflare.com/privacypolicy.
Form-verification storage
hCaptcha describes cookies and browser storage used for verification, abuse prevention, accessibility and technical operation. The information stored depends on the verification flow and browser. Its published list includes hmt_id, with a stated duration of 30 days. See the hCaptcha Cookie Policy for the provider's current list.
Third-party services we do use
Cloudflare delivers and protects this site. The enquiry pages use hCaptcha for spam protection. If you send an enquiry using the form, Web3Forms processes the submission and related technical data, including information used for spam prevention.

| Service | What it does | Storage and processing |
|---|---|---|
| hCaptcha | Helps verify enquiries and prevent automated form abuse | The enquiry pages load a verification service that processes technical and interaction data. See the hCaptcha Privacy Policy. |
| Cloudflare | Hosts and protects the site, and provides anonymous, aggregated visitor statistics | Security cookies only, as above |
| Web3Forms | Delivers your enquiry form submission to our inbox | Handles form submissions and related technical data, including spam checks. See the Web3Forms Privacy Policy. |
How to control cookies
You're always in charge. Every modern browser lets you block or delete cookies, and you can usually find the controls under Settings, then Privacy.
Blocking security or verification storage may affect security checks or enquiry submission. You can also contact us by email or telephone.
If this changes
If we add non-essential cookies or similar technologies to this site, we'll update this page and ask for any required consent before using them. The date at the top always reflects the current version.
