Strictly necessary cookies required for the basic operation of this website, for example, cookies that enable admins to log into any secure areas.

Analytical/performance cookies. To recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around the site when they are using it. This helps me to improve the way the website works, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily.

Cookies and third parties

Please note that third parties (including, for example, advertising networks and providers of external services like web traffic analysis services) may also use cookies, over which I have no control. These cookies are likely to be analytical/performance cookies or targeting cookies.

I may occasionally use a third party tracker and data analytics service providers including Google Analytics and Bing, to understand how people use this architect portfolio. You can find more information on Google Analytics and opting out here.
