  • manage and administer our business
  • maintain website security and performance
  • comply with legal and regulatory obligations

We do not sell your personal data.

5. Legal bases for processing

Under the GDPR, we rely on one or more of the following legal bases:

  • Legitimate interests — to operate our business, respond to enquiries, manage our website and maintain security
  • Steps prior to entering into a contract / performance of a contract — where you contact us about engaging our services or where we provide services to you
  • Legal obligation — where we need to retain or disclose information to comply with legal requirements
  • Consent — where consent is required, for example for certain non-essential cookies or analytics tools

6. Cookies and website technologies

Our website may use cookies or similar technologies.

Where only strictly necessary cookies are used, these are used to ensure the website functions properly.

If we use any non-essential cookies, such as analytics cookies, these will only be used where required consent has been obtained through our cookie banner or consent tool.

For more information, please see our Cookie Policy below.

7. Sharing your personal data

We may share your personal data with trusted third-party service providers where necessary for the operation of our website or business, such as:

  • website hosting providers
  • website developers or maintenance providers
  • email providers
  • security or spam protection providers
  • analytics providers, where enabled

We require service providers to handle personal data appropriately and only on our instructions where applicable.

We may also disclose personal data where required by law or where necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

8. International transfers

Some of our third-party service providers may process personal data outside the European Economic Area.

Where this occurs, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, in accordance with applicable data protection law.

9. Data retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including to respond to enquiries, provide services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce our rights.

Enquiry data that does not lead to a client relationship will typically be kept only for as long as reasonably necessary for administration and follow-up, unless a longer retention period is required.

10. Your rights

Subject to applicable law, you may have the right to:

  • request access to your personal data
  • request correction of inaccurate personal data
  • request erasure of your personal data
  • request restriction of processing

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They can help a website function properly, remember preferences, and in some cases help website owners understand how visitors use the site.

2. How we use cookies

We aim to keep the use of cookies on this website to a minimum.

The website may use:

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are required for the operation, security and core functionality of the website. They do not require consent where they are strictly necessary.

Analytics cookies

If enabled, these cookies help us understand how visitors use the website so we can improve its performance and content. These cookies are not essential and normally require consent before being set.

3. Google services

At present, we may use Google services in connection with the website.

  • Google Search Console / site verification helps us monitor how the website performs in Google Search. Search Console itself is a webmaster tool and standard verification methods do not in themselves mean visitor cookies are placed on your device.
  • If we use Google Analytics or other Google tagging services, Google may set or read cookies to measure website usage and performance.

If Google Analytics or similar non-essential Google services are active on the website, they should only run after the user has given consent through the cookie banner.

4. Cookie consent

Where non-essential cookies are used, you will be given the option to accept or reject them through our cookie banner or consent management tool.

You can also manage cookies through your browser settings. However, disabling strictly necessary cookies may affect website functionality.

5. Changes to this Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the website or legal requirements. The latest version will always be available on this page.
