Supporting detail — for visitors who want to check how site storage works

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognize your browser on later visits, remember settings, and support security features. A cookie does not run code on your device and it cannot read other files stored there; it simply carries a short identifier that the site's server can look up when your browser sends a request.

Similar technologies, such as local storage, serve comparable functions: they keep a small amount of information in your browser so a page can behave consistently between visits. Whether you are browsing a service page or reading this cookie policy, the same small set of storage tools is involved, and this policy covers them alongside cookies.

  • A cookie stores a short value, not a copy of your browsing history.
  • Only the site that set a cookie can normally read it back.
  • You can review, block, or delete them at any time through your browser settings.

Cookies we use

Each row below names one category of cookie the site can set, why it exists, and whether you can switch it off through the site's own controls. Rows marked as required support everyday page behaviour such as form submission and session state.

Strictly necessary cookies

Support form submission, protect against cross-site request forgery, and keep your session state as you move between pages. Without these, parts of the site including the inquiry form would not work correctly.

Required — cannot be switched off

Preference cookies

Remember choices you have made on the site, such as a collapsed section or a preferred layout, so the page does not reset itself on every visit.

Optional where offered

Analytics cookies

Set only where analytics are enabled. They record aggregated activity such as pages viewed and time on page so we can spot broken pages and improve content. They are covered in more detail in the next section.

Optional where offered

Third-party cookies

Set by services we rely on, such as embedded media or hosting infrastructure. They are governed by the privacy and cookie policies of those providers, and we do not control them.

Set by third parties

A short note on why we ask

Cookies are how the site remembers you between two clicks.

When you send the contact form or move between technology and services pages, the site needs to know that both requests came from the same browser session. Without the smaller set of required cookies, form submission would fail silently and pages would reset as you navigated. Analytics cookies are quieter still — they tell us which pages get abandoned so we can improve them. Both categories are described above, and neither is used to build an individual profile tied to your inquiry form details.

Interlude

Analytics stores an aggregate signal — the number of visitors who reached a page and how long they stayed. It is not joined to your name, your email address, or the details you send us through the contact form.

Analytics cookies

Where analytics are enabled, we use cookies to collect aggregated information about how visitors use the site, such as pages viewed and time on page. That data helps us identify broken pages and improve content — for example, when a service page consistently loses visitors before they reach the contact link, we edit the page rather than guess. Analytics data is used in aggregate and is not combined with inquiry form details to profile individual visitors.

Analytics cookies are set only on pages where measurement is switched on. If your browser blocks them, the pages still load and the contact form still works — you simply appear in no aggregate report. Where a consent tool is shown, your choice there overrides any default.

Third-party cookies

Some features may rely on third-party services, such as embedded media or hosting infrastructure, which can set their own cookies. Those cookies are governed by the privacy and cookie policies of the relevant providers. We do not control cookies set by third parties.

If you want to limit them, block third-party cookies in your browser, or clear any that already exist.

  • Hosting infrastructure may set a short-lived cookie to route requests reliably.
  • Embedded media may set cookies only when you press play or expand the player.

Managing cookies

You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block cookies entirely, block third-party cookies, or delete existing cookies. Instructions are available in your browser's help section.

Blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of the site, including the contact form, from working correctly. If you run into a broken interaction after cleaning cookies, reload the page once and try again.

Do Not Track, changes, and questions

Three short answers about browser signals, future updates, and where to send a question about this cookie policy.

Do Not Track signals

Some browsers can send a "Do Not Track" signal. There is no common industry standard for interpreting these signals, and this site does not currently respond to them. You can use browser cookie controls and any consent tools provided on the site to limit tracking. If an agreement on how to interpret the signal develops, we will revisit this statement.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in the cookies we use or in applicable law. The revised version will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Because the effective date changes rather than the page address, you can bookmark this page and check the date shown above whenever you want to see the current version. Where a material change affects which cookies are set, we will also update the description here rather than only swap a date.
