Cookie Policy

What this website stores on your device, what it does not, and the one third party involved.

Last updated: 1 September 2026UK PECR & UK GDPR

The Short Version

This website sets no cookies of its own. There is no Google Analytics, no advertising pixel, no remarketing tag and no cross-site tracking.

One third party is involved: the map on our homepage is embedded from Google Maps, and Google may set cookies in your browser when it loads.

What Cookies Are

A cookie is a small file a website asks your browser to store, so it can recognise your device on a later visit. The same rules apply to similar technologies such as local storage, pixels and device fingerprinting — the law cares about storing or reading information on your device, not about the specific technique.

The Google Map

Our homepage includes a map embedded from Google Maps so visitors can find the business. It is useful, and it has a cost worth stating plainly: when the homepage loads, your browser requests that map from Google's servers. Google therefore receives your IP address, along with technical information about your browser, and may set its own cookies on your device.

That processing is carried out by Google rather than by us, and is governed by Google's own privacy policy. We have no access to whatever Google collects through it.

If you would rather it did not load, most browsers allow you to block third-party content, and privacy extensions do the same. Every other page on this site works without contacting Google at all, and the homepage functions perfectly well with the map blocked.

No Third-Party Fonts

Worth mentioning because it is a common exception elsewhere. Many websites that set no cookies still hand every visitor's IP address to Google on every page load through their font files alone, without ever saying so. This one does not — the typefaces are served from this domain.

Why There Is No Banner

Cookie banners exist because the law requires consent before non-essential cookies are set. This site sets none of its own, so a banner from us would be asking permission for nothing.

The consent mechanism is already built into this website and dormant. If analytics are added later, it activates on its own: the tracking script stays blocked until you make a choice, Reject is as easy as Accept, and your decision is remembered.

Third-Party Links

Some links on this site go elsewhere, including WhatsApp and Google Maps. Once you follow a link, that site's own cookie and privacy practices apply, not ours.

FAQs

Cookie Policy FAQs

Does this website use cookies?

This site sets no cookies of its own and runs no analytics or advertising tracking. The Google Maps embed on the homepage may set cookies in your browser, because that content comes from Google.

Why is there no cookie banner?

This site sets no non-essential cookies of its own, so there is nothing of ours to ask consent for. The consent mechanism is built and dormant, and activates automatically if that ever changes.

Does this site use Google Fonts?

No. The typefaces are served from this website rather than from Google's servers, so no request is made to Google for fonts and no third party receives your IP address for them.

What about the map on the homepage?

The map is embedded from Google Maps. When the homepage loads, your browser requests it from Google, which receives your IP address and may set its own cookies. That processing is Google's and is governed by Google's privacy policy.

Can I avoid the map loading?

Yes. Most browsers allow you to block third-party content, and browser extensions can do the same. The rest of the site works normally without the map.

Do you track me across other websites?

No. We do not use advertising pixels, remarketing tags or cross-site tracking of any kind.

What is 'essential' storage?

Storage strictly necessary to provide the service you asked for — for example remembering that you dismissed a cookie banner. This does not require consent under UK law.

How do I block cookies generally?

Every major browser lets you block or delete cookies in its settings. Doing so may affect how other websites work.
