Cookie policy

This site uses as few cookies as possible. Anything that isn't essential stays switched off unless you choose to allow it, and you can change your mind at any time.

What cookies are

Cookies are small files a website saves in your browser. Similar technologies, such as your browser's local storage, work in the same way, and this policy covers them too. The law (the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations, alongside the UK GDPR and EU GDPR) says websites must ask your permission before using any that aren't strictly necessary.

Essential (always on)

These are needed for the site to work and be secure, so they don't need your consent.

Analytics (only if you accept)

Google Analytics helps me understand which pages are useful and how people find the site. It doesn't load at all until you accept it. Advertising features and Google signals are switched off.

Google reviews widget (only if you accept)

Client reviews from my Google Business Profile are shown using a widget provided by Elfsight. It only loads if you allow it. If you'd rather not, you can read my reviews on Google instead.

Google Search Console

I use Google Search Console to see how this site performs in Google search. It works from Google's own search data and doesn't place any cookies on this site.

Changing your mind

You can change your choices at any time using the cookie settings link at the bottom of every page. If you withdraw consent, the relevant cookies are removed and the page reloads without them. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings, though some parts of some websites may not work properly if you do.

For more about how I handle personal information, see my privacy policy.
