1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help a site function, remember preferences, and, in some cases, understand how visitors use its pages. Similar technologies such as local storage work in comparable ways, and we treat them under the same principles described here.
2. How we use them
We keep our use of cookies deliberately modest. Strictly necessary cookies and local storage entries support core functions, such as remembering your consent choice. Optional cookies are only ever set after you give consent through our banner. You are free to decline the optional categories, and the website will continue to work.
3. Cookie categories
We group cookies into the following categories so you can decide which you are comfortable with:
| Strictly necessary | Always active. These support essential functions such as page navigation and storing your privacy choice. They cannot be switched off in our banner. |
|---|---|
| Analytics | Optional. With consent, these help us understand aggregated, anonymous usage so we can improve the content of the site. |
| Marketing | Optional. With consent, these may help make any future messaging more relevant. They are off by default. |
4. Managing your consent
When you first visit, a consent banner appears with three clear choices: Accept all, Reject, and Cookie settings. Choosing “Cookie settings” lets you switch individual optional categories on or off before saving. Strictly necessary cookies remain enabled because the site relies on them to operate.
Your choice is stored locally in your browser. To review or change it later, you can clear the stored preference in your browser, which will prompt the banner to appear again on your next visit.
5. Third-party tools
Some optional cookies may be set by trusted third-party services we use, for example aggregated analytics providers. These providers process information under their own privacy and cookie policies. We only enable such tools where you have given the relevant consent.
We do not use cookies to build detailed individual profiles, and we do not sell information gathered through cookies.
6. Browser controls
Beyond our banner, most browsers let you view, block, or delete cookies through their settings. You can usually choose to be warned before a cookie is stored, or to refuse certain categories entirely. Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect how parts of the site behave.
- Look for “Privacy” or “Cookies and site data” in your browser settings.
- Use private or incognito browsing if you prefer not to retain cookies between sessions.
- Clear stored data periodically to reset your preferences.
7. Changes to this policy
As our tools or legal obligations evolve, we may update this Cookie Policy. The latest version will always appear on this page, with the revised date shown in the header. For broader information on how we handle personal data, please read our Privacy Policy.
