Cookie Policy

Cookies are small files that a website may place in your browser. This site also uses browser session storage and local storage, which serve related purposes without necessarily creating a cookie. Session storage normally ends when the tab or browser session ends; local storage persists until it is cleared or replaced.

The current website does not load analytics or advertising scripts and does not set marketing cookies. Its first-party browser storage supports the loading experience, an in-progress contact form, and your consent choice.

• Initial loader: a session-storage flag records that the opening animation has appeared during the current session.
• Contact form draft: after you start the guided form, session storage can retain your progress and entered answers for that browser session. It is cleared after successful submission.
• Cookie choice: local storage records a versioned preference object and when you made the choice so we can remember it and ask again if the consent framework changes materially.

The Concierge conversation is held in the open page. It is not currently written to browser storage.

Strictly necessary: the first-visit loader flag, contact form draft and consent record support functions you request or the operation of this site. They remain available regardless of optional preferences.

Preferences: no separate optional preference storage is currently enabled.

Analytics: no analytics tracking is currently enabled.

Marketing: no advertising or marketing tracking is currently enabled.

The preference panel shows the optional categories as unavailable while they are unused. If optional tools are introduced, we will update this policy and seek a fresh choice before loading them.

The browser storage listed above is set by this website. The site uses external providers for services such as hosting and, where configured, email or Concierge responses, but the current website code does not initialise third-party analytics or advertising cookies. A link you follow to another site may be subject to that site's own cookie policy.

The loader flag and contact draft are session-only. The contact draft is also removed after a successful submission. The consent record remains in local storage until you change it, clear site data, or a new consent version replaces it. We do not impose a separate expiry on that record in the current implementation.

On your first visit, you can accept all currently available categories, reject optional categories, or open Manage preferences. Because no optional categories are currently active, either direct choice enables only necessary storage. You can reopen Cookie preferences from the footer at any time. Changing your choice does not require a page reload.

You can also clear cookies and site data or block storage in your browser settings. Blocking necessary browser storage may cause the loader to repeat, prevent a contact form draft from being restored, or cause the consent panel to reappear. It does not prevent you from reading the site.

We will update this page when our browser storage or third-party integrations change. If we introduce optional tracking, we will update the consent version so visitors can make a new choice. See the Privacy Policy for broader information about personal information.
