Cookie policy
[DRAFT — pending legal review] This page explains the cookies and local storage this site uses, and describes what the site actually does — not what it intends to do.
Your choice comes first
A consent banner appears on your first visit. Until you make a choice, nothing that is not strictly necessary is stored on your device or recorded on our side. You can reopen the banner and change or withdraw your choice at any time.
Campaign attribution
If you arrive from an ad or a link carrying campaign parameters and you accept advertising cookies, we store those parameters in a cookie and in your browser's local storage so we can measure which campaigns produce real enquiries. If you refuse, they are not stored at all — and if you withdraw consent later, what was stored is deleted.
Analytics and advertising
This site uses Google Tag Manager to load Google Analytics and Google Ads measurement, operating in Google Consent Mode. Before you accept — and if you refuse — these tags run in cookieless mode: they set no identifier and cannot recognise you across visits, but they do still send Google signals for the pages you view and for how you interact with them (which sections come into view, how far you scroll, how long you stay, which buttons you click), including the page address and your IP address, which Google uses for aggregate modelling. After you accept, they operate normally.
WhatsApp contact sessions
When you click a WhatsApp button, we record the click on our side together with your campaign attribution, so that a message arriving on WhatsApp can be matched to the campaign that produced it. This is only recorded if you accepted advertising cookies. The WhatsApp button itself works either way.
