What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your browser or device when you visit. They allow the website to remember your actions or preferences over a period of time, or to understand how the site is being used.

Cookies are widely used and generally harmless. Most websites use them in some form. You can control cookies through your browser settings; please see the section on managing cookies below for more detail.

How we use cookies

We use a small number of cookies on this website. Our aim is to keep cookie use to what is actually needed to operate the site effectively and understand how visitors use it. We do not use cookies for advertising, retargeting or tracking across other websites.

Types of cookies we use

We categorise our cookies as follows:

Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are required for the website to function. They do not collect any information about you that could be used for marketing. You cannot opt out of these cookies if you wish to use the website.

Cookie name Purpose Duration
tess_cookie_consent Stores your cookie consent preference so we don't ask again on subsequent visits. 12 months

Analytics cookies
We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with this website — for example, which pages are viewed most and how people navigate between them. This helps us improve the site. The information collected is aggregated and does not identify you personally.

Cookie name Provider Purpose Duration
_ga Google Analytics Distinguishes unique visitors using a randomly generated identifier. 2 years
_ga_* Google Analytics Maintains session state for the analytics session. 2 years

Analytics cookies are only set after you have accepted them through our cookie notice. If you decline analytics cookies, we will not place them on your device.

Third-party cookies

Some pages on this website embed content from third-party services, such as a Google Maps embed on our contact page. These services may place their own cookies when the content loads. We do not control those cookies and they are subject to those providers' own privacy and cookie policies.

Where possible, we configure third-party embeds to limit unnecessary cookie activity.

Managing cookies

You can manage or remove cookies in several ways:

  • Through our cookie notice. When you first visit this website, a notice will ask for your consent to analytics cookies. You can change your preference at any time by clearing your browser's local storage or cookies for this site and revisiting.
  • Through your browser. Most browsers allow you to view, block or delete cookies through their settings. The steps vary by browser; look for options under Settings, Privacy or Tools. Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect how the site works.
  • Through opt-out tools. For Google Analytics specifically, you can opt out using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in our cookie use or for other operational or legal reasons. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will reflect any changes. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
