What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your computer or mobile device when you visit it. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, and to provide information to website owners.

How we use cookies

We use three types of cookies: strictly necessary cookies, analytics cookies and marketing cookies. Analytics and marketing cookies are only set if you agree to them through the cookie banner shown when you first visit our website. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time. You can change your cookie preferences at any time using the cookie settings link on our website.

Strictly necessary cookies

Our website is built on WordPress. WordPress may set cookies that are needed for the website to work, for example to remember that a form has been submitted or to keep website administrators logged in. These cookies do not require your consent.

Analytics cookies (only with your consent)

We use Google Analytics 4, provided by Google, to understand how visitors use our website, for example which pages are visited and how people find us. This helps us improve the website. Google Analytics is loaded through Google Tag Manager.

Marketing cookies (only with your consent)

We use the Meta (Facebook) Pixel, provided by Meta, to measure the results of our adverts on Facebook and Instagram and to show our adverts to people who have visited our website.

Google Tag Manager

Google Tag Manager is a tool we use to manage and load the tags on our website, such as Google Analytics and the Meta Pixel. Google Tag Manager itself does not set cookies. The tags it loads only run when you have given the relevant consent.

Cookies we use

The typical cookies set by these services are listed below. The names and durations are those documented by Google and Meta and may change.

  • _ga (Google Analytics, analytics): distinguishes unique visitors. Duration: 2 years.
  • _ga_ followed by our container ID (Google Analytics, analytics): keeps track of your session. Duration: 2 years.
  • _fbp (Meta Pixel, marketing): identifies browsers to measure and deliver adverts. Duration: 3 months.
  • fr (Meta, marketing): used by Meta to deliver, measure and improve the relevance of adverts. Duration: 3 months.

Third-party services

Some pages include content from third parties, which may set their own cookies or collect information about your device when that content loads:

  • Google Maps: the map on our website is provided by Google. See Google’s cookie information.
  • Google Fonts: fonts are loaded from Google’s servers, which receive your IP address. Google states that Google Fonts does not set cookies.
  • Mailchimp: if you subscribe to our newsletter, your details are sent to Mailchimp. Mailchimp emails may use tracking to tell us whether an email was opened or a link clicked.

Links to our Facebook, YouTube and LinkedIn pages take you to those websites, which have their own cookie policies.

Managing cookies

You can change your cookie preferences at any time using the cookie settings link on our website. You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers explain how in their Help section. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop parts of this website from working properly.
