Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit it. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the website operator about how the site is used.

Cookies set by the website you are visiting are called "first-party cookies". Cookies set by parties other than the website operator are called "third-party cookies". Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website — such as analytics, maps, or embedded content.

Under the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and UK GDPR, non-essential cookies require your prior consent. This site uses a consent management banner to collect that consent before setting non-essential cookies.

2. Cookie Categories Used on This Site

Performance and Analytics Cookies

These cookies allow us to count visits and identify how users navigate the Site, so we can measure and improve performance. All data collected through analytics cookies is aggregated and anonymous — it does not identify individual users.

Third-Party Service Cookies

Certain third-party services embedded in this Site may set their own cookies. On the Contact page, a Google Maps embed is present. Google may set cookies in connection with this embed under its own privacy policy. These are classified as third-party analytical and functional cookies.

Web font providers (Google Fonts, Fontshare) may record your IP address in server logs when fonts are loaded. These are technically necessary for font loading and are processed under the providers' respective privacy policies.

3. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

Via this site's Cookie Settings. You can adjust your preferences at any time by clicking the Cookie Settings link in the footer of any page. This allows you to accept all cookies, accept only functional cookies, or make a partial selection.

Via your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, manage, block, and delete cookies through their settings panels. Instructions vary by browser:

  • — Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data
  • — Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data
  • — Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Manage and delete cookies

Please note that restricting or deleting cookies may affect the functionality of this Site and other websites you visit.

Opt-out for analytics. If you have accepted analytics cookies and wish to withdraw consent, you can do so via the Cookie Settings link or by deleting the relevant cookies in your browser. Google Analytics also offers a browser opt-out add-on available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

4. Consent and Withdrawal

When you first visit this Site, a cookie consent banner is displayed. Non-essential cookies (analytics and third-party categories) are not set until you provide affirmative consent. Your consent choice is recorded in the strictly necessary cookie aldovi_cookie_consent and remains valid for 12 months.

You may withdraw or change your consent at any time via the Cookie Settings link in the footer. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to withdrawal.

For more information about how personal data collected through cookies is handled, please see our Privacy Policy.
