1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to website owners about how their site is being used.
2. How we use cookies
Our website uses cookies for the following purposes:
- Strictly necessary: cookies required for the website to function, such as session management and your consent preferences. These cannot be switched off.
- Analytics: we use Google Analytics (via Google Tag Manager) to understand how visitors use our site. These cookies collect anonymous information about pages visited, time spent, and approximate location. Analytics cookies are only set after you give consent.
- Functional: cookies that enable enhanced functionality such as donation forms (GiveWP) and the UserWay accessibility widget.
- Third-party (Matterport): our website includes an embedded virtual tour powered by Matterport. Matterport may set its own cookies. The tour is blocked until you give consent.
3. Google Consent Mode
We use Google Consent Mode v2. This means that before you give consent, Google Analytics operates in a limited, privacy-preserving mode, collecting anonymous, aggregated data only, without setting identifiable cookies. Full analytics cookies are only activated after you consent.
