Cookies
Version of 5 September 2026
1. What this site stores today
Nothing, unless you allow it. The site sets no cookies of its own. When you first open it, a short banner asks whether we may count visits with Google Analytics. If you press “Only essential” or ignore the banner, no analytics script is loaded at all. If you press “Allow analytics”, Google Analytics is loaded and sets the cookies listed in the next section.
2. Analytics, only if you allow it
We use Google Analytics 4 to see which pages are read and whether the contact form is reached. It runs only after your consent. It sets standard Google Analytics cookies that distinguish one browser from another and keep the state of a visit; they expire after two years. The data goes to Google Analytics under our account; we do not use it for advertising, and Google Analytics 4 does not store IP addresses in reports.
| Cookie | What it does | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
_ga | Distinguishes one browser from another, so visits can be counted. | 2 years |
_ga_* | Keeps the state of the current visit for the analytics property. | 2 years |
3. Local storage
| Key | What it does | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
hp_consent | Remembers your answer to the analytics banner, allow or only essential, so we do not ask again. Stays in your browser; never sent to us. | Until you clear your browser data or change your choice below |
hp_sound | Remembers whether you switched the site’s sound on or off, so the choice holds on your next visit. Stays in your browser; never sent to us. | Until you clear your browser data |
With your analytics consent, hp_attribution_v1 keeps the first page of this tab’s visit, the referring website’s domain and recognised campaign labels in session storage. It is used for up to 24 hours and is removed when you withdraw consent or end the tab’s session. Full referral URLs, search terms, ad click IDs and contact details are not stored. Attribution is included with your enquiry and analytics event. Each enquiry has a random reference so we can connect it to its outcome. After a successful send, hp_lead_receipt_v1 briefly holds that reference, attribution, confirmation path and time to avoid counting the same enquiry twice; it is consumed on the confirmation page and expires after 15 minutes.
4. Third-party requests
The site is served by Cloudflare, which may record technical logs to deliver and protect it (see the privacy policy). When you send the contact form, the submission goes to Web3Forms, which delivers it to our mailbox. Fonts are served from our own domain, not from a font provider. Google Analytics is requested only after you allow it.
5. How to change your choice
Press the button below to clear your answer; the banner will ask again on the next page load. You can also clear local storage for this site in your browser settings (usually under “site data” or “clear browsing data”). The site keeps working without it; the sound switch simply starts in the off position again.
