What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They help the site remember things — like whether you have accepted the cookie notice — so that it works smoothly when you return. Cookies do not contain personal information on their own, and they cannot access files stored on your device.
This page explains the types of cookies our website uses, what they do, and how you can manage them. If you have further questions, contact us at [email protected].
Cookies we use
Essential cookies — always active
These are necessary for the website to function. Without them, certain features would not work. They cannot be switched off from this page. Examples include the cookie that stores your consent preferences.
Analytics cookies — optional
These help us understand how visitors use the website — which pages are visited, how long sessions last, and where visitors come from. We use this information to improve the site. We use Google Analytics for this purpose. The data is anonymous and aggregated.
Marketing cookies — optional
These are used to show relevant content or advertising to visitors based on their browsing activity. We do not currently run paid advertising campaigns, but these cookies may be set by third-party services we use for website functionality.
Preference cookies — optional
These remember your choices and settings — for example, your preferred language or region. They make future visits more convenient by keeping your preferences in place.
Third-party cookies
If you have accepted analytics cookies, Google Analytics may set cookies on your device. These are subject to Google's own privacy policy. We do not use social media sharing buttons or embedded social media feeds that set third-party cookies. We may use a small number of third-party services for website performance; these are configured to minimise data collection.
How long cookies last
- Session cookies: deleted automatically when you close your browser
- Consent cookie (essential): stored for 12 months, then re-requested
- Google Analytics cookies: typically 13 months
- Preference cookies: typically 12 months
