Cookie Policy

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device. They remember things between page views. Some are needed for a site to work, while others measure how people use it.

Your choice on the banner

When you first visit, a banner asks you to accept or reject analytics cookies. Until you press Accept, the site sets no analytics cookies and loads no Google Analytics code. This is because every consent signal starts as denied.

If you press Accept, the site loads Google Analytics 4. Accept grants analytics storage only. The three advertising signals stay denied, and the site runs no advertising tags.

If you press Reject, every consent signal stays denied and Google Analytics does not load. The site saves your choice in your browser's local storage on your device. That is a setting, not a tracking cookie.

Analytics

Google Analytics counts visits and shows which pages people read. The site owner uses those counts to improve the pages. The counts only start after you press Accept.

Google Maps

The contact page and each town page include a Google Maps map. The map loads from Google when the page opens, and the cookie banner does not control it. Google may set its own cookies when that happens, so read Google's privacy policy to see how it uses them.

Changing your mind

You can change your choice at any time. Press Cookie settings in the page footer and the banner opens again. Then choose Accept or Reject. Rejecting stops analytics and also deletes any Google Analytics cookies (the ones starting _ga) that this site set. You can still delete other cookies in your browser.

Managing cookies in your browser

Most web browsers let you control cookies through their settings. For example, you can:

View cookies stored on your device
Delete all or specific cookies
Block cookies from all or specific websites
Set preferences for first-party and third-party cookies

Blocking cookies does not stop the site working. You can still browse the pages and send a request, because the request form does not need cookies. However, if you block local storage, the banner may appear on every visit.
