- Consent — for newsletter subscriptions and optional cookies (you may withdraw consent at any time);
- Legitimate interest — for responding to business and advertising enquiries, and for basic site analytics;
- Contractual necessity — where we need your data to provide a service you have requested (e.g. following up on an advertising request).
5. Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We may use:
- Essential cookies — required for the Site to function correctly (e.g. security, load balancing);
- Analytics cookies — to understand aggregate visitor behaviour (e.g. Google Analytics or similar tools);

7. Data Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Policy: newsletter data for as long as you remain subscribed (and a reasonable period after, for suppression/opt-out records); enquiry data for as long as needed to handle the enquiry and for our legitimate business records, typically no longer than 24 months from last contact unless a longer period is required by law.
8. International Data Transfers
Some of our service providers (e.g. email platforms, analytics, hosting) may process data outside the European Economic Area.
