Cookie policy

We only use what the site needs to work, unless you choose otherwise.

Always on

We store your cookie choice in your browser for 12 months, so we don't ask on every page. If spam protection is switched on for our contact form, Cloudflare Turnstile uses what it needs to check that you're a person.

Only when you choose

  • Google Maps. The map on our pages loads only when you press “Show the map”. Google may then set its own cookies.
  • Hire booking. Our booking calendar is run by FareHarbor. It loads when you open it, and FareHarbor sets the cookies it needs to take your booking.

Only with your consent

Statistics: Google Analytics. We use Google Analytics 4 to see which pages are useful and how people find us. It doesn't load at all unless you press “Accept” or tick “Statistics”. It then records:

  • the pages you visit, how you arrived (for example from a Google search) and how long you stay
  • your type of device, browser and screen size, and your approximate location (town or country), which Google works out from your IP address without storing the address
  • when you press Book hire, Call shop, Text workshop, Text Joe on WhatsApp or Get directions, or send our contact form

It never receives your name, email, phone number or anything you type into a form. Google keeps the detailed data for 14 months, then deletes it. Google Analytics sets two cookies:

  • _ga: tells visits from the same browser apart. Lasts 2 years.
  • _ga_ followed by a code for our site: keeps track of your current visit. Lasts 2 years.

Statistics: Microsoft Clarity. With the same consent, we use Microsoft Clarity to see how pages are used: where people click, how far they scroll, and recordings of visits, with anything typed into forms hidden. Microsoft keeps recordings for 30 days and other data for 13 months. Clarity sets two cookies:

  • _clck: tells visits from the same browser apart. Lasts 1 year.
  • _clsk: joins up the pages of one visit. Lasts 1 day.

Microsoft may also set its own cookies on clarity.ms, such as MUID.

We don't use Google's or Microsoft's advertising features or any marketing cookies. If we ever do, they'll load only with your consent.

Changing your mind

You can change your choice at any time. If you turn statistics off, Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity stop and their cookies are deleted.

You can also delete or block cookies in your browser's settings.
