Cookie Policy
What cookies are
Cookies are small data files placed on your computer or other device (such as a smartphone or tablet) as you browse a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to remember your preferences, and to give site owners information about how their site is being used.
Our approach
We keep cookies to a minimum. We do not use advertising cookies, and we do not run advertising or remarketing pixels on this website. We do not sell or share browsing data with advertising networks.
We use Google Analytics 4 to count page views and understand which pages people find useful. Google Analytics sets cookies on your device, so it does not run until you accept. If you press “Reject non-essential”, or simply do not answer the banner, no analytics cookies are set and no identifier for you is created or stored. We use it to see how the site is found and used in aggregate. We do not run any advertising or remarketing tags on this website, and we do not use analytics data to build advertising audiences.
When you first visit the site you are shown a banner allowing you to accept all cookies or reject non-essential ones. Your choice is stored so we do not have to ask again on every page. You can change your mind at any time using the method described under “How to control cookies” below.
The cookies we use
Strictly necessary cookies
These are required for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are set only in response to actions you take, such as submitting an enquiry form or setting your cookie preferences.
- cwaf_cookie_consent — records your cookie consent choice so the banner is not shown again. Set by us. Expires after 12 months.
- WordPress session and security cookies — set by the software that runs this website, to keep the site secure and working correctly. These are generally session-length and are removed when you close your browser.
Analytics cookies — only set if you accept
These are set by Google Analytics 4 and are not set unless you press “Accept all” on the cookie banner.
- _ga — distinguishes one visitor from another so repeat visits are not counted as new people. Set by Google. Expires after 2 years.
- _ga_Y0WGCXRWKT — holds the state of your current visit, such as when it started, for the specific Analytics property used on this site. Set by Google. Expires after 2 years.
You can read Google’s description of how it uses this information at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites, and Google’s Privacy Policy at policies.google.com/privacy.
Cookies we do not use
We do not run Meta or Facebook pixels, LinkedIn Insight, Hotjar, or any advertising or remarketing tags on this website, and we do not use advertising cookies. If that changes, we will update this notice and the cookie banner before any such cookies are set.
Links to other websites
Our website contains links to lender websites, our social media profiles, and other third-party sites. If you follow a link to another website, that site will have its own cookie and privacy policies which we do not control. We encourage you to read them.
How to control cookies
You can accept or reject non-essential cookies using the banner shown when you first visit. You can also control cookies through your browser settings — most browsers let you see what cookies are stored, delete them individually or entirely, and block them from being set. Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop parts of this website working properly, including our enquiry form.
General independent guidance on managing cookies is published by the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk/for-the-public/online/cookies.
