Cookie Policy

01What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device to store information. Similar technologies — such as local storage and pixels — do comparable things. Cookies are usually classed as either:

• Strictly necessary — needed to deliver the site and the features you ask for (for example, security and load balancing). These don't require your consent.
• Functional — support extra features, such as an embedded booking tool. These are not classed as strictly necessary, so where they are not essential to something you have specifically asked for, they generally require your consent.
• Analytics / performance — measure how a site is used. We use a cookieless analytics tool (Plausible), so no analytics cookies are stored on your device.
• Advertising / targeting — used to profile and re-target visitors. We do not use these.

02How we use cookies

We keep cookies to a minimum. This website does not set any analytics, marketing or cross-site tracking cookies of its own. The only cookies that may be present are those set by the infrastructure and tools we use to deliver the site securely and to run the booking feature — principally our hosting and security provider, and the booking tool when it loads. We do use a privacy-friendly analytics tool (Plausible) to measure how the site is used, but it is cookieless and stores nothing on your device, so it isn't listed in the table below.

03The cookies used on this site

We don't control the cookies set by these third parties. You can read more in Cloudflare's cookie policy and Cal.com's privacy policy. The site's typography is served by Google Fonts and the animation library by Cloudflare's cdnjs; these load files rather than set cookies, but your IP address is visible to those providers as part of the request (see our Privacy Policy). The exact names and lifetimes of any cookies these providers set are determined by them and set out in their own policies; most are session or short-lived cookies, and we're happy to help if you have questions.

04Consent and your choices

Under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and UK GDPR, strictly necessary cookies can be used without consent, while cookies that are not strictly necessary generally require it. We do not use any analytics or advertising cookies. Our booking tool loads automatically as you scroll near the booking section and may set functional cookies at that point; these are not strictly necessary. You can prevent these cookies by blocking third-party or non-essential cookies in your browser (see below) — this stops the cookies, though the tool itself may still load and share your IP with Cal.com as the page renders. If you'd prefer not to use the booking tool at all, you're welcome to email us to arrange a call instead.

05How to manage or block cookies

You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings, and set your browser to warn you before accepting them. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect how parts of the site work. Guidance for the main browsers:

• Google Chrome
• Apple Safari
• Mozilla Firefox
• Microsoft Edge

You can find more general guidance about cookies and how to manage them at the ICO's website. Most browsers also offer a "Do Not Track" setting; as we don't track you, there is nothing for us to disable.

06Changes to this policy

If we introduce new cookies or technologies — for example cookie-based analytics or advertising — we will update this policy first, revise the "last updated" date, and, where the law requires, ask for your consent before those cookies are set.
