Cookie policy

Similar technology can store or read information on a device, remember a choice, protect a form or help measure how a website is used. It falls into three categories.

Essential

Essential technology supports things like website security, form protection and remembering your privacy choices. Where it is strictly necessary for the service you ask for, it does not depend on the optional-cookie setting.

We do not use essential technology as a reason to load optional analytics or advertising tools.

Analytics

Analytics can help us understand which pages are used, how visitors move through the website and whether something is not working as expected.

Analytics cookies are set only if you allow analytics. Tools such as Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity count as analytics.

Advertising and campaign measurement

Advertising technology can help measure whether a campaign led someone to visit the website or make an enquiry. It can also let an advertising platform connect activity on the website with information it already holds.

We use Google Ads, through Google Tag Manager, to measure which of our adverts lead to enquiries and to show our adverts to people who have visited the website. Advertising cookies are set only if you allow marketing, which you choose separately from analytics.

Google Tag Manager loads on every visit. Until you accept, Google’s tools run in what Google calls consent mode: they store nothing on your device and send Google only cookieless signals, such as that a page was viewed or an enquiry was sent, which Google uses to estimate how its adverts perform. Accepting marketing lets them use cookies as well.

This list was last updated on 28 October 2026. It covers every kind of page a visitor can reach.

When you visit

Whatever you choose, the website stores one thing on your device: your choice.

• heritage-consent: remembers which optional cookies you accepted or rejected, so you are not asked on every page. Essential. Set by this website in your browser’s local storage. Lasts 6 months, then you are asked again.

If you use the enquiry form

The enquiry form is protected by Google reCAPTCHA, which checks that an enquiry comes from a person rather than a program sending spam. It loads when you start filling in the form, not before.

• _GRECAPTCHA: lets reCAPTCHA tell people from automated spam. Essential. Set by Google on its own domain. Lasts 6 months.

If you allow marketing

• _gcl_au: links an enquiry to the Google advert that led to it. Marketing. Set by Google Ads on this website. Lasts 90 days.
• heritage-attribution: keeps the campaign codes in the link you arrived by, such as utm_source and gclid, so they go with an enquiry you send from another page. Marketing. Set by this website in your browser’s session storage. Deleted when you close the tab.
• Google’s own cookies on its domains, such as IDE on doubleclick.net: used by Google to measure our adverts and show them to people who have visited. Marketing. Set by Google. Controlled through your Google account and Google’s own settings.

The cookie settings always list the optional tools in use. You can see them now.

Fonts and photographs

The website's typefaces come from Google Fonts and its photographs from Sanity's image service. Your browser fetches these files directly, so Google and Sanity receive your IP address and browser details with each request. Neither sets a cookie.

If you edit the website for Heritage

These are set only when a Heritage editor previews unpublished changes from the content editor. Visitors never receive them.

• sanity-draft: shows the editor unpublished changes. Essential. Set by this website. Lasts 24 hours.
• heritage-preview-session: confirms the preview was opened by an authorised editor. Essential. Set by this website. Lasts 24 hours.
• sanity-preview-perspective: remembers which scheduled version an editor is previewing, when they preview one. Essential. Set by this website. Lasts 24 hours.

If the website adds any other technology, it will be listed here with its source, purpose and duration, and optional tools will also appear in the cookie settings.

The first time you visit, a banner asks whether you allow optional cookies. Accepting and rejecting are offered equally, and no optional cookies are set until you accept. You can:

• accept all optional cookies
• reject all optional cookies
• allow analytics and marketing separately
• change your mind at any time from Cookie settings at the foot of every page

You can also change your cookie settings now.

Rejecting optional cookies does not stop any part of the website from working, including the enquiry form. If you accepted and then change your mind, the tools you switch off stop from that point and the cookies they stored on this website are removed from your browser. Information already received may still be handled under the relevant privacy information and retention rules.

Your browser settings

Most browsers let you view, block or delete stored cookies. Browser settings work separately from any controls on this website. Blocking all storage may affect functions the site needs for forms, security or remembering a choice.

Links to other services

Links to WhatsApp, finance services, social profiles and other outside websites take you to services run by other organisations. They use their own cookies and their own privacy rules, so read those before you use them.
