When you visit our website, we will place a secure cookie in your browser history, which will allow us to record your interactions with our website and the device, browser and IP address that you are using. 

If you do decide to make an enquiry, we will link the data information recorded from the website cookie to your personal information used in your enquiry. You can delete the cookie from your browser at any time.

We also use HTML web storage to store information locally, such as search results and development locations, to improve our website performance. This can also be deleted by you from your browser at any time.

HTML web storage provides two forms of storage:

Local Storage – stores data with no expiration date

Session Storage – stores data for a single session (data removed when the browser tab is closed)
