The short version
I use browser storage to remember that you’ve seen this notice, and Cloudflare Turnstile to protect the contact form from spam. Clicking “Understood” does not enable optional advertising, analytics or personalisation storage.
The preference this site stores
The browser-storage item coate-cookie-notice-v3 records when you select “Understood” and when that acknowledgement expires. It is stored for up to 180 days so the notice does not appear on every visit, and it is not used to identify you.
This item is strictly necessary: it exists only to remember your choice. If this notice changes in a way that needs your attention again, the storage key’s version number is updated, which brings the notice back.
Use “Cookie settings” in the footer to reopen the notice, or remove the preference through your browser settings. Dismissing the notice does not switch on any optional storage or affect the website’s core features.

Tools that may use cookies
This site includes Google Tag Manager, container GTM-KVJG472N, which manages measurement tags. Loading it makes a request to Google’s servers and shares limited technical information, such as an IP address, browser details and the page requested. That request may be processed outside the UK.
Analytics, advertising and personalisation storage are set to denied before the container loads and stay denied: clicking “Understood” does not change this. I do not currently use any tag that requires your consent to run. If that changes, this notice and any on-page controls will be updated first, and the new tag will be added to the table above with its own name, purpose and duration. Read how Google uses information from sites that use its services.
Contact form security
I use Cloudflare Turnstile on the contact form to check that submissions are legitimate. It processes technical information about the browser and request and supplies a short-lived verification token. I have not enabled its optional pre-clearance cookie. This security check does not switch on advertising or analytics. Read Cloudflare’s privacy policy for details.
What the website does not use
- Google Analytics or any other optional analytics tag;
- advertising pixels or social-media trackers;
- embedded maps, videos, chat or social widgets;
- third-party web fonts.
External links
The site links to services such as Google Maps, the ICO and UpTopWeb. This website does not embed content or automatically load resources from those services. If you follow a link, the destination may use its own cookies or similar technologies under its own policy.
Hosting logs are different
Cloudflare Pages hosts this website and may create access and security logs when it delivers a page. These logs sit on Cloudflare Pages’ systems rather than in your browser storage; they may still contain information such as an IP address, browser details and the time of a request. Read the privacy notice for more information.
If the website changes
If an analytics service, embedded service or other storage technology is added later, this notice and the on-page controls will be updated before any non-essential storage is enabled. For questions about how your information is used more generally, see the privacy notice.
