What cookies this website uses, why we use them, and how to manage your preferences.
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work correctly, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the website operator about how visitors use the site.
Similar technologies — such as local storage — may be used for the same purposes. Where we refer to cookies in this policy, we mean cookies and any comparable technologies used in the same way.
Cookies do not give us access to your device or to any other information on it beyond what the cookie itself records.
This website uses a small number of cookies, grouped into three categories:
Essential cookies are required for the website to function correctly. They do not track you for marketing purposes and do not require your consent under PECR.
| Cookie / Storage | Purpose | Duration | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
ukdm_consent_v1 |
Stores your cookie consent preferences so the banner does not appear on every visit | Persistent (localStorage) | Always active |
| Honeypot field | Hidden field in the contact form used to detect and prevent automated spam submissions | Session only | Always active |
Google Tag Manager may be used to manage website tags. It helps control when analytics or marketing tools are loaded. Analytics and marketing tools will only be activated where the relevant consent has been given. GTM itself does not set analytics or marketing cookies unless consent has been given and the relevant tags are enabled.
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use this website — which pages are visited, how long visitors spend, and where they come from. This helps us improve the content and usability of the site.
Google Analytics 4 does not load on this website until you have given analytics consent. If you reject non-essential cookies or do not accept, no analytics data is collected from your visit.
| Service | Measurement ID | Purpose | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Google Analytics 4 | G-1VYH9TB1ET |
Anonymised website usage statistics — pages visited, session duration, approximate location, device type |
Google Analytics sets cookies including _ga, _ga_* and related identifiers. These are first-party cookies stored on your device and used to distinguish visitors and sessions. Data is processed by Google LLC. You can review Google's privacy practices at policies.google.com/privacy.
Marketing cookies are not currently active on this website. No advertising networks, social media pixels, retargeting scripts or similar technologies are installed at present.
| Service | Purpose | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Marketing / advertising | Not in use | Not active |

Please note that blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of some websites. Instructions for managing cookies in common browsers can be found at aboutcookies.org or through your browser's help section.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, particularly if new technologies are introduced to the website. The date at the top of this page indicates when the policy was last revised. We recommend checking this page periodically.
Where material changes are made — such as the introduction of new analytics or marketing tools — we will update this policy before those tools are deployed and will seek fresh consent where required.
