This site is hosted on Cloudflare and uses Cloudflare Web Analytics to count visits and page views. It sets no cookies, does not fingerprint your device and does not track you across other websites. You can read Cloudflare's privacy policy. We also use Google Search Console to see how the site performs in search results; it reports aggregated search data only and collects no personal data from visitors.

9. Cookies
With your consent, we use Google Analytics 4 to measure page visits, website usage and successful enquiry submissions.

We remove query strings and fragments from the page and referring URLs sent to Analytics. We do not send form contents or enable advertising tracking or Google signals. Analytics cookies and your consent preference last up to 180 days. You can reject analytics without affecting the site, or withdraw consent using Cookie settings; this stops collection and removes our Analytics cookies.
