Cookie Policy

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your device on subsequent visits, remember your preferences, and gather anonymised information about how the site is used. Cookies do not access other files on your device or collect personal data without your consent.

Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

These are necessary for the website to function. They manage your session, maintain security, and ensure basic features work correctly. They cannot be disabled. No personal data is collected beyond what is strictly necessary for the site to operate.

Analytics Cookies

These help us understand how visitors use the site — which pages are visited, how long visitors spend on them, and where visitors arrive from. This data is aggregated and anonymised. We use this to improve the site and its content.

Marketing Cookies

These track visits across websites and may be used to display relevant advertisements. We do not currently use advertising cookies; however, this category is included for transparency should this change in future.

Preference Cookies

These remember your settings and preferences — such as your cookie consent choices — so you do not need to set them each time you visit.

Third-Party Cookies

If analytics is enabled, we may use Google Analytics. Google's cookie policy applies to data collected through their service. We do not share identifiable personal data with Google in this context. You can opt out of Google Analytics across all sites at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Cookie Duration

• Session cookies: Deleted when you close your browser
• Persistent cookies (preference/analytics): Typically expire after 12–24 months
• Consent record: Stored for 12 months, after which your preference will be requested again
