6. Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files stored on your device. We use:
- Essential cookies, which are needed for the site to function and cannot be switched off.
- Analytics cookies, which help us understand how visitors use the site. These are used only with your consent where required.
- Marketing cookies, which may be used to measure campaigns and show relevant advertising, only with your consent where required.
You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect how the website works. Third-party services we use, such as Google Tag Manager or WhatsApp, are subject to their own privacy policies.

When information is no longer required, we delete or anonymise it securely.
8. Protecting Your Information
We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal information, including encrypted connections (HTTPS), access controls, and the use of reputable, security-conscious providers. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

- Access the personal information we hold about you
- Correct information that is inaccurate or incomplete

If you are unhappy with how we handle your data, please contact us first so we can put it right. You also have the right to complain to your data protection authority. In the United Kingdom this is the Information Commissioner’s Office (ico.org.uk).
