Cookies, browser storage and your choice
This website uses necessary browser storage to remember your privacy choice and product shortlist. These items are local storage and session storage, rather than cookies sent with each page request. Google Maps is optional and off by default. The site currently has no configured advertising or third-party analytics trackers.
Privacy preferences
Local storage in your browser

- athenas-consent-v1
- Purpose
- Your Google Maps choice and its saved/expiry dates; no enquiry details.

Enquiry shortlist
Browser-tab session storage
- Storage name

Google Maps
Optional external content
- Storage name
- Determined by Google’s service
- Purpose
- The map loads and connects to Google only after you allow it. Google may use cookies or similar technologies.
- Duration
- Google determines storage durations; see its privacy policy.
Changing your choice
Choose Necessary only to keep the embedded map off. Open Cookie settings from any page footer to allow or disable Google Maps later. If you turn it off, the embedded map is removed immediately. This does not delete information or cookies Google has already received or set; manage those in your browser or Google account.
Your browser controls storage
You can clear or block browser storage through your browser settings. If storage is blocked, your choice may work only on the current page and the site may ask again next time. Necessary storage has no off switch in this panel; you can remove it with your browser controls and remove products from your shortlist.
External services
Opening a Google Maps or WhatsApp link is a separate action that takes you to that provider. Necessary server-side protection may also process limited technical request information; it is separate from these browser storage entries. See the Privacy notice for enquiry handling and service-provider information.
