Cookie Policy
What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files that a website puts on your device. Some are needed to make the site work. Others tell us how the site is being used, or help us see whether our advertising is doing anything useful.
This page explains every cookie this website sets, why it is there and how long it lasts.
Essential Cookies
These keep the site working. Without them it cannot remember your cookie choice or let us into the admin area to update the site.
| Cookie | What it does | How long it lasts |
|---|---|---|
| mp_cookie_consent | Remembers whether you accepted or declined cookies, so the banner does not keep appearing | 12 months |
| wordpress_logged_in_, wordpress_sec_, wp-settings- | Keep the site working for whoever is logged in to manage it. These are only set for our own staff, never for visitors | Session to 12 months |
| wordpress_test_cookie | Checks whether your browser accepts cookies at all | Session |
Analytics Cookies
We use Google Analytics 4 to see how many people visit, which pages they read and how they found us. We use it to make the site better. We do not use it to work out who you are.
| Cookie | What it does | How long it lasts |
|---|---|---|
| _ga | Lets Google Analytics tell one visitor apart from another | About 2 years |
| _ga_RSLKQVFQTB | Keeps track of a single visit to this site | About 2 years |
Advertising and Measurement Cookies
We advertise on Facebook and Instagram. These cookies let us see whether an advert led to an enquiry, so we are not paying for adverts that do nothing. They are set by the Meta pixel and by the PixelYourSite plugin that runs it.
| Cookie | What it does | How long it lasts |
|---|---|---|
| _fbp and _fbc | Meta pixel. Recognise a browser that arrived from a Facebook or Instagram advert | About 3 months |
| pys_first_visit, pys_start_session, pys_session_limit, pys_landing_page, last_pys_landing_page, pysTrafficSource, last_pysTrafficSource | Record which page you landed on and where you came from, so an enquiry can be matched back to the advert or search that brought you | From the length of your visit up to a few days |
Content Provided by Other Companies
Some parts of the site come from other companies, and those companies may set their own cookies once their content loads.
| Service | Where it appears | More information |
|---|---|---|
| Google Maps | Our service area map. It only loads if you click it | Google privacy policy |
| YouTube | Videos embedded on some pages | Google privacy policy |
| Gravatar and Jetpack (tk_ai) | Profile pictures on blog posts, and site tooling. Both are run by Automattic, who make WordPress | Automattic privacy policy |
| ServiceM8 | Our online booking. If you book a slot, that part happens on the ServiceM8 website and their cookie policy applies there | ServiceM8 privacy policy |
Your Choices
A banner appears the first time you visit, where you can accept or decline. Your choice is remembered for 12 months.
If you decline, or you change your mind later, the reliable way to clear everything is through your browser, because some cookies from other companies can be set as soon as a page loads. Deleting them in your browser removes them whatever set them.
- Chrome: Settings, then Privacy and security, then Third party cookies and Delete browsing data

You can also stop Google Analytics on every website you visit with the Google Analytics opt out browser add on.
