Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They allow the website to remember your actions and preferences over a period of time, so you don't have to keep re-entering them whenever you return to the site or browse from one page to another.
These cookies are essential for the website to function and cannot be disabled in our systems. They are typically only set in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling out forms.

They allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. With Microsoft Clarity we also see heatmaps and recordings of how pages are browsed (clicks, scrolling and mouse movement); whatever is typed into the contact form is masked and never recorded.

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC. Google Analytics uses cookies to help us analyse how users use the site.

We also use Microsoft Clarity, a behavioural analytics service provided by Microsoft Corporation. Clarity only loads if you accept analytics cookies, and it records how you interact with the pages (clicks, scrolling, mouse movement) to produce heatmaps and session recordings. Contact form fields are masked and their content is not sent to Microsoft. Data may be processed on Microsoft servers in the United States; Microsoft is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.
