This policy explains what cookies are, which cookies our website uses and how you can control them.
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to remember your preferences and to give website owners information about how their site is used. Similar technologies, such as information stored in your browser, are covered by this policy too.
We keep the cookies on our website to a minimum. We use strictly necessary cookies so the website works securely, and, only if you agree, analytics cookies that help us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it. We do not use advertising or marketing cookies.

We use Google Search Console to monitor how our website appears in Google search results. Search Console does not place any cookies on your device.
Our Contact page includes embedded Google Maps showing our office locations. When these maps load, Google may set its own cookies. We do not control these cookies, and you can find out more in Google’s privacy policy.
You can change your choice at any time by clicking Cookie Settings, which also appears at the foot of every page. You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop parts of our website, such as the contact form, from working.
