How we use cookies and similar technologies, and how you can manage them.
Last updated: 12 July 2026
A cookie is a small text file that a website places on your device when you visit it, so the site can work properly, remember your choices during a session, and understand how it is used. "Similar technologies" include pixels and local storage; for simplicity we refer to all of them as "cookies" here.
Strictly necessary cookies are always on because the website cannot work without them. Non-essential cookies — analytics (Google Analytics 4) and marketing (the Meta Pixel) — are only set after you accept them. When you first visit, a cookie banner lets you accept all, reject non-essential cookies, or choose by category. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time using the "Cookie settings" link in the footer of any page. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing carried out beforehand.
Strictly necessary (always on). Required for the website and forms to function — session state, security, and remembering your cookie choice. These do not collect information for marketing.
Form & lead cookies. Our quote and contact forms are provided through HubSpot, which may set cookies to recognise your device and link your enquiry to your submission.
Analytics (optional — consent required). Google Analytics 4 helps us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it. These cookies are only set if you consent.
Marketing (optional — consent required). The Meta (Facebook/Instagram) Pixel measures our advertising and supports relevant ads. These cookies are only set if you consent.

HubSpot cookies may also help us understand whether a visitor submitted a form and how they interacted with our enquiry process. We only use HubSpot cookies in line with the consent settings active on the website.
Exact cookie names and lifetimes set by third parties may change as they update their services. The definitive list is what your browser shows on the live site; if you run a cookie scan and see a difference, the live behaviour is what applies.
Strictly necessary cookies are used on the basis of our legitimate interest in operating a secure, functional website (and the equivalent exception in Article 22.2 of Spanish Law 34/2002, LSSICE). Analytics and marketing cookies are used only with your specific, informed consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR; Article 22.2 LSSICE), which you give through the cookie banner and can change at any time.
In addition to the "Cookie settings" control on this site, you can block or delete cookies through your browser settings — for example in Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Safari or Microsoft Edge. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop core parts of the site, including the forms, from working. To opt out of cross-site advertising more broadly, see youronlinechoices.com.
Some cookies are set by third parties whose services we use: HubSpot (forms and CRM), Google (Analytics) and Meta (Facebook/Instagram Pixel). These providers act as our processors or as independent controllers depending on the service and are subject to their own privacy and cookie policies.
We may update this cookie policy when we add, remove or change cookies, or when regulation evolves. The current version is the one published on this page, with the "last updated" date shown above.
