2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies to:

- Measure website performance and improve our services;
- Understand how visitors interact with our pages and enquiries (e.g., which pages are visited most);
- Support marketing measurement and advertising only where you have given consent.
Legal basis (UK GDPR / PECR): We use strictly necessary cookies to provide the website and requested services (legitimate interests and/or contract), and we rely on consent for non-essential cookies such as analytics, functional enhancements, and marketing cookies.

Some cookies are set by third parties we use for analytics, performance monitoring, form protection, and advertising. These third parties may process data in accordance with their own privacy policies. Where required, we only allow these cookies to be set once you have provided consent in our cookie preference centre.
2.2 International transfers
Some providers may process data outside the UK (for example in the USA). Where applicable, transfers are protected using appropriate safeguards (such as UK Addendum / Standard Contractual Clauses). For more detail, see our Privacy Policy.
