We use a strictly necessary local storage entry to remember your cookie preference — this does not require consent under the ePrivacy Directive because the site cannot otherwise remember your choice.
We do not currently use analytics, advertising, or tracking cookies. If we add any in future (for example, website analytics), we will update this policy and ask for your consent before they are set, via the banner shown on the site.
All fonts and other design assets on this site are hosted directly by us — none are loaded from a third-party service, so nothing about your visit is shared with a font or design provider.
We do not sell or rent your personal data to third parties.

We recommend confirming the specifics here with a qualified privacy lawyer before launch, particularly for visitors in the EU/EEA.
We keep contact form submissions for as long as needed to handle your enquiry, and email sign-up data until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it. Server logs are retained for a limited period for security purposes and then deleted.

You can change your cookie choice at any time by clearing this site's data in your browser settings, which will show the consent banner again on your next visit.
