What cookies do
Cookies are small pieces of information saved by your browser. They can support security, remember preferences or help measure how a website is used. We use our own essential cookies and, only with your permission, Google Analytics cookies.
Your choice comes first
Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics are blocked until you accept analytics. Rejecting optional cookies does not stop you browsing galleries, using the contact form, calling or emailing us. Analytics is off if JavaScript is disabled. We do not treat scrolling, continuing to browse or closing cookie settings as consent.
Essential cookies
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| acorn_cookie_consent | Remembers whether you accepted or rejected analytics, the policy version and the time you chose. | 180 days; choosing again renews this period. |
| .AspNetCore.Antiforgery.* | Protects forms against forged submissions. | Browser session. |
| .AspNetCore.Mvc.CookieTempDataProvider | Carries a protected confirmation or error notification between requests, such as after sending an enquiry. | Temporary; consumed when displayed. It does not contain the enquiry's form details. |
| Acorn.Cms | Authenticates authorised CMS users. Only relevant when signing in to the admin area. | Session cookie; sign-in ticket expires after 30 minutes of inactivity, with renewal during active use. |
Optional Google Analytics cookies
| Cookie | Purpose | Typical maximum duration |
|---|---|---|
| _ga | Distinguishes browsers for Google Analytics website measurement. | Up to 2 years, subject to Google/property settings and browser limits. |
| _ga_* | Maintains session and measurement information for the Google Analytics property. | Up to 2 years, subject to Google/property settings and browser limits. |
The exact cookies and expiry dates can vary with Google's settings and your browser. Google Tag Manager manages the tags; it is not itself a separate analytics cookie. Our current measurement setup uses Google Analytics. Google advertising consent remains denied.
Changing your mind
You can accept or reject analytics in the banner, or use Cookie settings in the footer at any time. Optional analytics is off by default in the settings. Turning it off after accepting stops future tracking on the reloaded page and attempts to remove accessible Google measurement cookies for this site. The page reload may clear unsaved form text.
Withdrawing consent does not delete information already sent to Google. Your browser can also remove cookies and block future ones. If it blocks our preference cookie, your choice may only last for the current page and the banner may appear again. We ask again after 180 days or when we change the consent version.
