Cookie policy
Every cookie this site can set, what it's for, and how to turn it off. The full list is below — nothing hidden.

The short version
A cookie is a small file a website leaves in your browser so it can recognise you next time. Some are needed for the site to work at all. The rest are optional, and on this site the optional ones don't run until you say yes.
If you're visiting from the UK, you'll see a banner asking what you're happy with. Nothing in the analytics or advertising categories is set before you answer, and nothing is ticked for you in advance.
The three categories
Necessary — always on
These keep the site working and remember the cookie choice you made, so we don't have to ask on every page. They can't be switched off, because without them the site can't tell whether you've already answered.
Analytics — off until you allow it
Google Analytics, which tells us how many people visit, which pages hold attention and which ones lose it. It's how we know what to fix. If you decline, we still receive an anonymous, cookie-free signal that a visit happened, but nothing that identifies your browser or follows you between visits.
Advertising — off until you allow it
Google Ads and the Meta Pixel, which let us measure whether an ad brought someone here and show our work again to people who have already visited. If you decline advertising, the Meta Pixel is never loaded at all, and Google receives no advertising identifiers from your visit.
Every cookie in full
| Name | Set by | What it does | Category | Lasts |
|---|---|---|---|---|
_ga | Google Analytics | Tells apart one visitor from another so visits can be counted. | Analytics | 2 years |
_ga_* | Google Analytics | Keeps the state of a single visit for the specific property being measured. | Analytics | 2 years |
_gcl_au | Google Ads | Records that an ad brought you here, so a resulting enquiry can be attributed to it. | Advertising | 90 days |
_fbp | Meta | Identifies a browser to Meta so our advertising on Instagram and Facebook can be measured. | Advertising | 90 days |
dcs_consent | Delara Creative Studio | Remembers the choice you made here, so you aren't asked again. Stored in your browser's local storage, not sent to us. | Necessary | Until you clear it or change your choice |
dcs_geo | Delara Creative Studio | Holds the two-letter country code our host reports, so we know whether to show you the cookie banner. | Necessary | 1 day |
Google and Meta may set further cookies on their own domains once you've allowed advertising. Their own notices cover those in full: Google and Meta.
Changing your mind
Open — the same control sits in the footer of every page. Switch a category on or off and save. When you turn something off, we stop collecting immediately and clear the cookies that were set under it.
You can also clear or block cookies in your browser's own settings, and most browsers let you refuse third-party cookies outright. Blocking everything may break parts of other websites, but it won't break this one.
