1. What Cookies And Similar Technologies Are
Cookies are small files placed on your browser or device. Similar technologies include pixels, tags, local storage, scripts, and identifiers that help a website remember information, measure usage, or understand technical performance.
Some cookies are set by us as first-party cookies. Others may be set by service providers such as Microsoft or Google when their analytics or diagnostics tools run on our website.
2. Why We Use These Technologies
We use essential cookies for website operation and preference storage. We use optional analytics and diagnostics technologies only after consent to understand website usage, diagnose issues, improve content, and review search visibility.
We do not use these tools to collect payment details, passwords, or intentionally send contact form values such as name, email, phone, or message text as analytics event data.
3. Measurement Services We Use
Microsoft Clarity
Helps us understand website interactions through behavioral metrics, heatmaps, session replay, clicks, scrolls, page rendering, and diagnostic signals.
May process device and browser details, approximate location, pages viewed, interaction events, session identifiers, and diagnostics. The contact form is marked for Clarity masking, and sensitive form content should not be intentionally captured.
Google Analytics and the Google tag
Helps us measure visits, traffic sources, page engagement, device categories, browser information, and aggregate website performance.
May use first-party cookies and similar identifiers to distinguish visits and sessions. We do not intentionally send names, email addresses, phone numbers, message text, or other directly identifying form values to Google Analytics.
Google Tag Manager
May be used to manage measurement tags, consent behavior, and tag diagnostics across the website.
Google Tag Manager itself is primarily a tag-management tool. Any tags delivered through it must respect the site's consent and privacy-safe tracking setup.
Google Search Console
Helps us monitor search visibility, indexing, queries, impressions, clicks, and technical issues affecting our presence in Google Search.
Search Console does not place a marketing or analytics cookie on this website for visitors. It provides reports based on Google Search and indexing data.
4. Cookies That May Be Used
The exact cookies you see can vary by browser, geography, provider settings, consent status, and whether the same tools are loaded through the Google tag or Google Tag Manager.
Essential and preference cookies
These cookies are used only when needed for website operation, form security, basic preferences, or remembering your cookie choice.
Analytics and diagnostics cookies
These cookies and identifiers help us understand website usage in aggregate, diagnose technical problems, and improve content and navigation. They should load only after analytics consent.
Marketing cookies
No advertising or remarketing tags are currently deployed on this website, so allowing this category does not place marketing cookies today. The category exists because allowing it also grants advertising-related consent signals to Google, and because advertising tags may be added later. If that happens, they will load only for visitors who allowed this category, and this list will be updated first.
Functional cookies
These would remember optional choices such as embedded content or saved preferences. No functional cookie beyond your consent record is currently placed. Allowing this category grants functionality and personalisation consent signals so that such features can work if they are added.
5. How You Can Control Cookies
The consent banner appears before any optional technology loads. Every optional category starts switched off, and nothing in the Marketing, Analytics, or Functional categories runs until you allow it. Refusing takes the same single click as accepting.
You can change or withdraw your choice at any time using the Consent Settings link in the website footer. Withdrawing is as easy as giving consent: analytics tools stop, and the analytics cookies listed above are cleared from your browser. Your choice is remembered for 180 days, after which the banner asks again.
If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we treat it as an opt-out of the Marketing category. That category stays switched off and cannot be enabled while the signal is present, even if you select Accept all.
You can also block, delete, or limit cookies through your browser settings. If you block non-essential cookies, some analytics, diagnostics, session replay, and measurement features may be less accurate or unavailable, but the website should remain usable.
6. Records We Keep Of Your Choice
Data protection law requires us to be able to demonstrate that consent was given, so each time you save a choice in the banner we record it on our own servers. This record is kept whether you accept or refuse, and it is created because we are legally obliged to keep it, not on the basis of your consent.
Each record contains the categories you allowed or refused, the date and time, the version of the banner and of this policy you were shown, which button you used, whether a Global Privacy Control signal was present, your browser's user agent string, and a random consent reference that is also stored in your browser. Where a server secret is configured, it also contains a one-way, salted hash of your IP address. We do not store your IP address itself, and the record contains no name, email address, or other detail you have given us elsewhere.
These records are used only as proof of consent and to answer requests about it. They are not used for analytics, profiling, or marketing, and they are deleted automatically after three years. If you want to see or delete the record connected to your consent reference, contact us using the details below.
