3) Consent requirements ✅
We use a consent banner and preference panel that allow you to choose how cookies are used on this website. The banner provides three options: “Accept All”, “Reject Non-Essential”, and “Manage Preferences”.
Consent statement
By clicking 'Accept All Cookies', you consent to the storing of cookies on your device for analytics and advertising purposes, including personalized advertising delivered by Google and Meta. You may withdraw consent at any time through the cookie preferences panel without affecting the lawfulness of processing that occurred before withdrawal.
EEA / UK users
Users in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom receive this consent notice in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and UK GDPR. Marketing and analytics cookies are activated solely after explicit, informed, freely given consent under GDPR Article 6(1)(a). Consent is recorded with a timestamp and may be audited upon request.
Withdrawal of consent
You may withdraw consent at any time by clicking 'Manage cookie preferences' in the website footer, or by clearing cookies via your browser settings. Withdrawal does not affect processing that occurred while consent was valid.
We store your consent choice using localStorage for 12 months. Essential cookies remain enabled because they are required to operate the site reliably and securely.
5) Lead Forms and Contact Requests ✉️
When you submit a contact form, request a quote, or register interest in our services, we collect the information you provide. This typically includes: full name, email address, phone number, and your message.
Legal basis
consent (GDPR Art. 6.1.a) and, where a service relationship exists, performance of a contract (GDPR Art. 6.1.b).
Retention
form submission data is retained for up to 2 years from the date of submission, unless a longer period is required by applicable law.
You may request deletion of your data at any time by contacting us at [email protected].
A link to this Privacy Policy appears adjacent to every submission button on this site. Submitting a form constitutes acknowledgment of this policy.
For Canada-based users, we also aim to follow applicable privacy principles (including meaningful consent and limiting collection to what is needed) while providing GDPR-aligned controls for international visitors.
6) Google Services and Advertising 🔎
This website uses the following Google services:
Google Analytics 4
collects anonymized usage data, device info, and behavioral signals. IP anonymization is enabled. Data retention is set to 14 months. Users may opt out via the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
Google Ads Conversion Tracking
records when a user completes a defined action (form submission, call, purchase) after clicking one of our ads. This data is used solely for measuring ad campaign performance.
Google Remarketing
allows us to show ads to previous visitors across Google's network. Remarketing lists are not created from sensitive data categories (health, finance, religion, sexual orientation).
Google Tag Manager
deploys tracking tags on our behalf. No personal data is collected by GTM itself; it acts as a container for the tags listed above.
Google's advertising products are governed by: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads

This website uses the Meta Pixel to measure the effectiveness of our advertising on Facebook and Instagram. The pixel may record:

- Custom audience membership for retargeting purposes
We do not use the Meta Pixel to collect sensitive personal data, nor to target users based on health status, financial situation, religion, political views, sexual orientation, or any other special-category attribute prohibited under Meta's advertising policies.
Meta acts as an independent data controller for data collected via its Pixel and processed within its own platform. Refer to Meta's Data Policy: https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy

These transfers are conducted under Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission, which provide appropriate safeguards for personal data. A copy of the applicable SCCs can be requested by contacting us directly.
