Cookie Policy

1. What Cookies Are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow a site to recognise your device, remember your choices and understand how the site is used. Similar technologies include local storage and tracking pixels.

Some cookies are set by us (first-party cookies) and others by services we use (third-party cookies). Session cookies last only while your browser is open, while persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them.

2. Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are required for the website to work and cannot be switched off through the cookie banner. They keep the site secure, remember your journey details as you move through the quotation steps, protect forms from abuse, and allow pages and maps to load correctly. Without them, features such as requesting a quotation would not function.

3. Analytics Cookies

With your consent, analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the site — which pages are most useful, how visitors arrive, and where the booking journey could be smoother. The information is aggregated and does not identify you personally. These cookies allow us to improve the experience for everyone.

4. Marketing Cookies

With your consent, marketing cookies allow us to measure the effectiveness of our advertising and to show relevant messages to people who have shown an interest in our services. They may record that your device visited our site and which pages you viewed. Refusing these cookies does not prevent you from using the website or making a booking.

5. Cookie Consent

When you first visit our website, the cookie banner asks you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. Nothing other than essential cookies is set before you make a choice, and you can change your decision at any time using the controls in the banner, which reappears if you clear your browser data. Withdrawing consent stops any future use of non-essential cookies, but does not remove cookies already stored on your device — those can be deleted in your browser settings.

6. Browser Cookie Controls

You can also manage cookies directly in your browser, where you can block cookies, delete existing ones, or set your browser to alert you when a cookie is set. These settings are usually found in the Privacy or Security section of your browser's menu.

Blocking all cookies may affect how our website works, including remembering your journey details between steps. To opt out of Google Analytics across all websites, you can install Google's Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

7. Third-Party Services

We may use the following third-party services, which can set cookies or receive technical information such as your IP address, device type and pages visited:

• Google Analytics — aggregated measurement of website traffic and usage
• Google Maps Platform — address search, maps and route calculation for quotations
• Wix Analytics and Base44 platform analytics — website performance and traffic measurement
• Meta / Facebook and Instagram advertising pixels — measuring advertising and showing relevant ads, where consented

Third-Party Policies

These providers set and control their own cookies, and their use of information is governed by their own policies. We recommend reviewing the Google Privacy Policy and the Meta Privacy Policy for full details of how they handle data collected through their services.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when our website or the services we use change. The current version is always available on this page, and the date of the latest update is shown at the top.
