Website Analytics, Cookies and Tracking
We may use cookies and similar technologies to improve our website, understand visitor behaviour and measure marketing performance.
The tools that run on every page of this website are:
- Google Tag Manager, which loads and manages our other measurement tags, including Google Analytics;
- Google Ads, which records which advertisement brought you to the website and whether you went on to send us an enquiry;
- Microsoft Advertising, through its UET tag, which does the same for the advertising we run on Bing and the Microsoft network;
- StatCounter, which records basic visitor statistics.
These tools may collect information about your device, browser, approximate location, the pages you view, how you arrived at the website and what you do on it, including submitting an enquiry form. We use them to understand how the website is used and to measure the advertising we pay for.
Google and Microsoft handle that information under their own privacy terms as the providers of those tools. You can read how each of them uses it, and opt out of personalised advertising, at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites and privacy.microsoft.com/privacystatement.
You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Some website features may not function properly if cookies are disabled.

These measures may include:
- secure cloud hosting;
- access controls and authentication controls;
- encrypted data transmission where appropriate;

- limited access to project and client information;
- security monitoring and review.
No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including to provide services, manage client relationships, meet legal and accounting obligations, resolve disputes, and maintain business records.
When information is no longer required, we will take reasonable steps to securely delete, de-identify or archive it.
