Cookie Policy
A short, plain-English summary of the cookies this website uses and how to control them.
Last updated: 30 April 2026
1. What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file that a website places on your device when you visit. Cookies are widely used to make sites work, to remember your preferences, and (commonly) to track usage. UK and EU law requires us to ask for your consent before setting any cookie that isn’t strictly necessary.
2. What we use
This website is a deliberately lightweight static site. We do not currently set any first-party tracking, analytics, or advertising cookies of our own.
That means we don’t track your visit across pages, we don’t profile you, and we don’t run a cookie-consent banner because we have nothing for you to consent to. If we ever add analytics or tracking, we’ll add a proper consent banner first and update this page.
3. Third-party cookies that may be set
A small number of third-party services we use to deliver the site may set cookies of their own when you load specific pages. We’ve listed them honestly below:
- Google Maps embed — on our Contact page, we embed an interactive map of our Worsley premises. When that map loads, Google may set its own cookies to deliver the map and remember user preferences. The map only loads when you visit the Contact page.
- Google Fonts — we load our typefaces (Fraunces and Inter) from Google’s font CDN. Google Fonts itself does not set cookies, but the request still goes via Google’s servers, so Google sees standard browser headers and your IP address.
- FormSubmit.co — we use this service to deliver form submissions to our inbox. It only runs when you submit a form. Cookies set by FormSubmit on submission are limited to operational use (anti-spam, session).
- GoDaddy — our hosting provider. They may set technical cookies for load balancing or security. These are strictly necessary for the site to function.
If you want fine-grained detail on what each of those third parties does with the data they receive, their own privacy policies are the authoritative source. We’ve linked them on our Privacy Policy.
4. Managing cookies
You can control cookies directly in your browser. Every modern browser lets you:
- See what cookies are stored
- Block all cookies, or block third-party cookies only
- Delete cookies on demand or automatically when you close the browser
- Use private / incognito mode, which discards cookies when the window closes
The exact controls vary by browser. The website aboutcookies.org has step-by-step guides for all the major browsers.
Blocking cookies is unlikely to break this site — the only feature that may not work properly is the embedded Google Map on the Contact page.
5. Changes to this policy
If we add new tools to the site that set cookies (for example, analytics), we’ll update this page and add a cookie-consent banner before they go live.
