Cookies and analytics
Analytics cookies are set only with your consent. You can change your choice at any time: open cookie preferences, or use Cookie preferences in the footer of every page.
We use PostHog, hosted in the EU, to understand how the website is used. If you accept analytics cookies, PostHog records how you use the website, including pages viewed, clicks, scrolling and mouse movement (heatmaps), whether the enquiry form was started or sent and which service you picked, the site you came from, your device and browser, and approximate location. It does not receive your name, contact details, postcode or message. Session replay is switched off, and your IP address is discarded after an approximate location is derived. If you have not made a choice, or you reject analytics cookies, PostHog receives only a cookieless visit count.
Cloudflare Turnstile protects the enquiry form against automated abuse. It loads when you open the enquiry form or start filling it in, and does not set a cookie on our domain.
Who we share it with
- Service providers who host this website, store enquiries and send email (Cloudflare and Resend) and provide analytics (PostHog), acting on our instructions. Cloudflare acts as an independent controller for Turnstile.
- Google, which provides the typefaces this website loads and so receives your IP address.
- WhatsApp (Meta), which carries messages and photographs you send us by WhatsApp under its own terms.
- Licensed waste facilities, which receive the information required on the hazardous waste consignment note.
- Regulators, law enforcement and other public authorities, where required by law.
PostHog Inc. is based in the United States. Any transfer of personal information outside the UK is protected by appropriate safeguards, such as the UK Addendum to the EU standard contractual clauses.
