Cookie Policy

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They are widely used to make websites work more reliably, to remember your preferences, and to help site owners understand how their sites are being used.

Similar technologies — such as local storage, session storage, and pixel tags — serve related purposes and are covered by this policy alongside cookies. When we refer to "cookies" in this document, we mean all such technologies.

Cookies do not typically carry personal information on their own, though they can be combined with other data to identify a visitor. Our Privacy Policy sets out how we handle any such information.

2. Types of cookies we use

We use a small number of cookies on this website. These fall into the following categories:

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are required for the website to function and cannot be turned off. They are typically set in response to actions you take — such as submitting a contact form or managing your cookie preferences. They do not store any information that could be used to identify you outside of this website.

Name	Purpose	Duration
brassford_cookie_consent	Records whether you have accepted or declined optional cookies, so that the consent prompt is not shown on every page visit.	12 months
brassford_session	Maintains a basic session reference used to support form submission and prevent duplicate submissions.	Session (expires on browser close)

Analytics cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors use this website — which pages are visited, how long visitors stay, and how they arrived. This information is collected in aggregate and is not linked to individual identities. We use this data to improve the usefulness and clarity of the website over time.

Analytics cookies are optional and are only placed on your device if you give your consent. You can adjust this preference at any time using the controls on this page.

Name	Purpose	Duration
_ga	Distinguishes unique visitors for aggregate traffic analysis. Set by Google Analytics if enabled.	2 years
_ga_*	Maintains session state for Google Analytics.	2 years
_gid	Identifies a session for aggregate analytics. Expires shortly after each visit.	24 hours

Analytics cookies are not currently active on this website. If we activate them, this policy will be updated and your consent will be requested again.

Functional cookies

Functional cookies support features that improve the usefulness of the website — for example, remembering a form field you have started to complete, or preserving a preference you have selected. We do not currently use functional cookies beyond those listed in the strictly necessary category above. If we introduce them in future, this policy will be updated accordingly.

Cookies we do not use

We do not use advertising cookies, tracking cookies, social media cookies, or any cookies placed by third parties for marketing purposes. We do not allow third-party advertising networks to set cookies through this website.

3. Third-party content

This website includes a map embed provided by Google Maps. When the map is loaded, Google may set its own cookies on your device in accordance with Google's privacy and cookie policies, which are independent of this policy. We have no control over the cookies set by Google in this context.

If you prefer not to receive Google Maps cookies, you can prevent the map from loading by disabling map embeds in your browser, or by not interacting with the map section of the page.

No other third-party cookies are currently in use on this website.

4. Managing your cookie preferences

You can adjust your cookie preferences for this website at any time using the controls below. Changes to your preferences take effect immediately and are saved to your device for up to twelve months. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be turned off, as the website cannot function without them.

Managing cookies through your browser

In addition to the controls above, you can manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, delete, and block cookies from specific websites. The process varies by browser — the links below give guidance for common browsers:

• Google Chrome — Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
• Mozilla Firefox — Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
• Apple Safari — Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
• Microsoft Edge — Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Cookies and site data

Please note that blocking or deleting strictly necessary cookies may affect the operation of the website, including the ability to submit forms or save preferences.

Withdrawing consent

You may withdraw consent for optional cookies at any time by returning to this page and adjusting your preferences using the controls above. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing that took place while consent was active.

5. Cookie retention

Each cookie we set has a defined retention period, as noted in the tables above. Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device until either their expiry date is reached or you delete them manually. Your consent preference is stored for up to twelve months, after which we will ask for your preference again if you visit the site.

6. Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or in applicable guidance and law. When we make material changes, the Last Updated date at the top of this page will be revised. We will also request fresh consent for any new categories of optional cookies introduced following an update.

Continued use of this website after a policy update constitutes acceptance of the updated policy for the purposes of strictly necessary and functional cookies that do not require consent. For optional cookies, we will request fresh consent at the time of the update.
