Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device to make the site work, to remember your choices, or to help the owner understand how the site is used. This page explains which cookies our website uses, why we use them, and how you can control them.

2. Your Consent Choice

When you first visit our website, a cookie-consent banner asks whether you are happy for us to use optional analytics and advertising cookies. Strictly necessary cookies are always active because the site cannot function properly without them, but analytics and advertising cookies are only set once you accept them. Until you make a choice, these optional cookies stay switched off. We remember your decision so you are not asked on every visit — your choice is stored in your browser's local storage under the key mwgs-consent.

3. Strictly Necessary Cookies (Always On)

These cookies and similar technologies are essential for the website to work securely and reliably. They do not require consent and cannot be switched off through the banner.

• Site function: keeping the site working correctly and remembering your cookie-consent choice.
• Cloudflare: our hosting and content-delivery provider may set cookies or similar tokens to keep the site secure and performing well.
• Cloudflare Turnstile:protects our enquiry form from spam and abuse, which may involve setting a security token when you use the form.

4. Analytics and Advertising Cookies (Only After Consent)

We only set the following cookies after you have accepted them through the consent banner. They help us understand how visitors use the site and measure our advertising. If you decline, they are not set.

• Google Analytics 4:helps us understand how visitors find and use our website so we can improve it.
• Google Ads: measures the performance of our advertising and helps us reach relevant audiences.
• Microsoft Clarity:provides anonymised insight into how pages are used so we can improve the experience.

These services are managed through Google Consent Mode v2 and remain in a denied state until you consent.

5. How to Change Your Choice

You can change your mind at any time. To reset your preference and bring the consent banner back, clear the mwgs-consent entry from your browser's local storage for this site (this is usually found under your browser's site data or storage settings), then reload the page. You can also manage or delete cookies directly through your browser settings — most browsers let you block or remove cookies and will explain how in their Help section. Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect how parts of the site work.
