Cookie Policy

What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file that a website places on your device when you visit. Cookies let a site work properly, remember your choices, and gather anonymous information about how the site is used. Similar technologies such as pixels and local storage do much the same thing, and where we refer to “cookies” below we mean all of them.
Why we use cookies
We use cookies to keep the website secure and working as it should, to remember preferences such as the area you searched for, and to understand which pages people find useful so we can keep improving them. We try to keep cookies to the minimum needed to give you a good experience.
The types of cookie we use
Strictly necessary cookies
These are essential for the website to function — for example, keeping the site secure, balancing traffic across our servers, and remembering information you have entered on a form. The site cannot work properly without them, so they cannot be switched off.
Performance and analytics cookies
These help us understand how visitors use the site — which pages are viewed and whether anything causes errors — using aggregated, anonymous information. We may use a service such as Google Analytics for this. The information is used only to improve how the site works.
Functional cookies
These remember choices you make, such as the town or postcode you searched for, so the site can offer a more relevant experience.
Targeting and advertising cookies
These would be used to measure the effectiveness of marketing. We keep these to a minimum and only set them where you have given consent.
Third-party cookies
Some cookies may be set by trusted third parties whose services appear on our site, such as analytics or mapping providers. We do not control these cookies, so we recommend reviewing the relevant provider’s own privacy and cookie information for details of how they use them.
Managing and disabling cookies
Where the law requires it, we set non-essential cookies only after you have given consent, and you can change your choice at any time. You can also control cookies through your browser settings — including blocking or deleting them — although please note that disabling some cookies may stop parts of the site from working as intended. Most browsers explain how to manage cookies in their help section, and general guidance is available at ico.org.uk.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal or regulatory reasons. Any changes will appear on this page with a revised date.
