VISUAL UPDATE · 27 SEPTEMBER 2026
Carvill & Johnson — screenshot evidence
These screenshots show the website as it appeared on 27 September 2026. The June findings and score remain as published; we update the review when new evidence or feedback supports a change.
The first notice provides Accept and Manage Cookies and Opt Out. The latter opens Functional, Statistics and Marketing categories with Save preferences. The presence of controls is visible; their effect on tracking is not established by these images.
Capture limits: The browser state was not reset before these captures, so they do not establish a fresh-visitor experience. This visual update did not test cookies, browser storage, network activity, Google consent signals or whether choices persist. A visible control or policy statement does not establish its technical effect.
Review findings
Visible Consent and Privacy Signals
Cookie Notice
- Dedicated Cookie Policy publicly available
- Cookie categories described in the published policy
- Policy says permission is sought for certain categories
- Current banner wording was not technically reviewed
- Current reject and settings routes were not technically reviewed
The policy describes consent for some cookie categories. This review does not determine whether the current live banner, buttons or settings journey operates consistently with that wording.
Privacy & Cookie Information
- Footer links include Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy
- Terms & Conditions, Complaints Procedure and Accessibility links also visible
- Cookie Policy records an update date of 13 May 2024
- Functional, statistics and advertising or tracking categories described
- Google reCAPTCHA is listed in the published cookie information
The public documentation is well signposted. A current technical review would confirm that the policy details remain complete and accurately reflect the technologies used in 2026.
Public Data Collection
- Public contact form identified
- Name, address, email, telephone and message fields visible
- Website Enquiry Privacy Notice linked
- Full Privacy Notice linked
- CAPTCHA shown within the public contact journey
This review does not assess backend handling, legal basis, data retention, access controls or the processing of client and case information.
Evidence matrix
Observed Evidence and Review Boundaries
| Review area | What was observed | Review status | Not determined by this check |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cookie information | Dedicated Cookie Policy with categories including functional, statistics and advertising or tracking cookies. | Observed | Whether the policy fully reflects the present technical configuration. |
| Visitor choice | Published policy says permission is sought for statistics and certain tracking categories. | Policy wording observed | The live banner, first-layer reject route, available settings and persistence of choices. |
| Privacy information | Footer links to Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, Terms & Conditions, Complaints Procedure and Accessibility information. | Observed | Accuracy, legal adequacy or completeness of all policy information. |
| Public forms | Contact journey with privacy-notice links and CAPTCHA visible. | Observed | Backend data handling, retention, records or lawful basis. |
| Cookies and tags | Not technically inspected in this public visibility review. | Not tested | Cookies, browser storage, network requests, Google reCAPTCHA behaviour, analytics tags, advertising pixels or Consent Mode behaviour. |
What a Deeper Review Would Check
The public policy information is a useful starting point, but it does not establish how the website currently behaves. A technical review would create a clean-browser baseline and compare cookies, browser storage, network requests and visible changes before interaction, after acceptance and after any refusal or category selection available in the live consent journey.
As the Cookie Policy records a 2024 update date, a focused 2026 review would also compare the policy categories, banner wording and settings screen with the present cookie, analytics, CAPTCHA and advertising or tracking technologies found on the website.
Suggested technical scope
- Clean-browser baseline
- Cookie and browser-storage review
- Network-request and tag-firing review
- Banner and preference-centre check
- Acceptance and rejection journey comparison
- Cookie-policy versus live-site comparison
- Developer-ready action list
