Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, to remember your preferences and to provide information to website operators about how their site is being used.

Cookies may be "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them). They may be set by us ("first-party cookies") or by third parties whose services we use ("third-party cookies").

2. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for the following purposes:

2.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to function. They enable core functionality such as security, session management and access to secure areas. The website cannot function properly without these cookies, and they cannot be disabled.

• cookieConsent — stores your cookie preference choices (localStorage). Duration: persistent until cleared.
• session — maintains your browsing session. Duration: session only.

2.2 Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. This allows us to improve the website and the user experience. These cookies are only set with your consent.

• Usage statistics (page views, time on site, traffic sources)
• Anonymised aggregated data — no personally identifiable information is collected through analytics cookies alone

2.3 Marketing Cookies

Marketing cookies may be used to track visitors across websites and to display advertisements that are relevant to your interests. These cookies are only set with your consent, and only if you opt in to marketing cookies through our cookie consent banner.

3. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

When you first visit our website, a cookie consent banner will appear. You can choose to accept all cookies, decline non-essential cookies, or customise your preferences by selecting specific cookie categories.

You can update your preferences at any time by clearing your browser's localStorage and reloading the page, which will re-display the cookie consent banner.

You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

• View the cookies stored on your device
• Delete all or specific cookies
• Block cookies from specific websites or all websites
• Configure preferences for different cookie types

Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of our website. Browser-specific guidance is available from your browser's help documentation.

4. Third-Party Cookies

If analytics or marketing cookies are enabled, third-party services may place their own cookies on your device. We do not control the use of third-party cookies. Each third party has its own cookie policy and privacy practices. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you encounter.

5. Do Not Track

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. We honour DNT signals. Where a DNT signal is detected, non-essential cookies are not set beyond what is strictly necessary for the website to operate.

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date.
