Cookie policy

Last updated 15/10/2026

Cookies are small text files a website saves on your phone or computer. This page lists the ones our website uses and how you stay in control of them.

Our cookie card

When you first visit, a small card in the corner of the page asks for your choice. It has three buttons: Accept, Reject and Settings. Settings lets you switch on Analytics (Google Analytics) and Embedded maps and booking (Google Maps and Calendly) one by one, then Save.

Nothing optional runs until you press Accept or switch it on in Settings. Your choice is kept for 180 days in a cookie called sla_consent.

What	What it does	Cookies
Analytics (Google Analytics 4)	Helps us see which pages are useful. Google Consent Mode v2: all Google storage is denied by default; analytics storage is granted only after Accept and denied again on Reject or when you change your mind (the Google Analytics cookies are then deleted). Advertising storage always stays denied; we do not use Google Ads.	_ga, _ga_<ID>. Up to 2 years (set by Google)
Embedded maps and booking (Google Maps, Calendly)	Loads the live Google map on the home page by itself. Without it, the live map loads only when you press Show live map, and the booking calendar only when you open it.	Set by the service when it loads

Only when you ask for them

Live chat (Crisp). Loads only when you press Chat or a live chat link, because you asked for it. Crisp then sets its own cookies to keep the conversation.
Booking calendar (Calendly). Loads only when you open Book a free call. Calendly sets its own cookies.
Live map (Google Maps). Loads only when you press Show live map (or by itself if you allowed embedded maps). Google sets its own cookies.

No cookie choice needed

Cloudflare Web Analytics. Counts visits without cookies. Needs no consent.
Cloudflare Turnstile. Checks the quote form is sent by a person, not a bot. It uses only signals that are strictly necessary for that check.

Live chat, the booking calendar and the map

Our Chat button does not load anything until you press it. Then Crisp, our live chat service, loads because you asked for it, and sets its own cookies to keep the conversation going as you move around the site.

The booking calendar (Calendly) loads only when you open Book a free call. The live Google map loads only when you press Show live map, or by itself if you accepted embedded maps.

Analytics

We use Cloudflare Web Analytics, which counts visits without cookies, for everyone.

Google Analytics 4 runs only after you press Accept or switch on Analytics in Settings. Until then, Google Consent Mode tells Google that all storage is denied. If you reject analytics later, we switch it off and delete the Google Analytics cookies (_ga and _ga_ followed by an ID). We do not use Google Ads, and advertising storage always stays denied.

Changing your mind

Use the Cookie settings link at the bottom of every page to change your choice at any time. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. If you block essential cookies, parts of the site may not work properly.
