  • Essential Cookies: Necessary for the website to function properly.
  • Performance and Analytics Cookies: Help us understand website traffic and user behaviour.

Some of our external third-party providers (like Google, Meta, and Mailchimp) are based outside the United Kingdom. This means the processing of your personal data may involve a transfer of data outside the UK.
 
When we transfer your data, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by using specific contracts or data transfer agreements approved for use in the UK, such as the International Data Transfer Addendum (IDTA), which gives personal data the same protection it has in the UK.
