Cookie Preferences
There is very little to set here, and that is deliberate. This page explains exactly what this site loads and what it leaves on your device.
Last updated 30 August 2026
1. The short answer
This website sets no cookies of its own. It stores nothing in your browser, it does not track you between visits, and it cannot recognise you when you come back. That is why you have not been shown a consent banner: there is nothing to consent to until you actively choose to load the map.
2. What this site does not do
It is worth being specific, because most sites do all of the following and this one does none of them:
- No analytics. No Google Analytics, no page-view counting, no heatmaps, no session recording.
- No advertising. No ad networks, no remarketing tags, no conversion pixels.
- No social trackers. The social icons in our header and footer are plain links. They load nothing from those platforms until you follow them.
- No local storage. Nothing is written to your browser's storage, and no preferences are held on your device.
- No consent management platform. There is no third-party banner service collecting a record of your choices.
3. What does load
Three third-party services can be involved in a visit. Only the first runs without you doing anything.
| Service | When | Cookies? |
|---|---|---|
| Google Fonts Serves the two typefaces the site is set in. |
On every page load. | No cookies. Your IP address and browser details are visible to Google as part of the font request. |
| Google Maps Shows where our office is. |
Only after you press "Load map" on the contact page. | Yes, once loaded. Google sets its own cookies inside the map frame. |
| Formspree Receives the enquiry form and emails it to us. |
Only at the moment you submit the form. | No cookies are set in your browser by the submission. |
4. The map, and why it waits
An embedded Google map is the one part of this site that would set third-party cookies. Rather than load it and ask forgiveness through a banner, we leave it switched off and put a button in its place. Nothing reaches Google until you press it.
If you would rather not load it at all, the same button sits next to a plain link that opens the location in Google Maps in a new tab, which keeps it off this page entirely. You can also just read the address: No. 8 Turkey Avenue, Community 14, Ghana.
The map resets every time you load the page. Because we store no preference on your device, choosing to load it once does not load it automatically next time.
5. Your controls
Since we set nothing, there is no preference switch for us to offer you. The controls that do apply are the ones in your own browser:
- Block or clear cookies. Every major browser lets you block third-party cookies or clear what is already stored, from its privacy settings.
- Private browsing. A private or incognito window discards anything set during the session when you close it.
- Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control. We have nothing to switch off in response to these signals, because we are not tracking you in the first place.
Blocking cookies will not break this site. The only thing affected is the embedded map, which needs them to work once you choose to load it.
6. If this changes
If we ever add something that sets cookies, whether analytics or anything else, we will update this page before it goes live, and we will ask for your consent where the law requires it rather than assuming it.
