This cookie policy explains what cookies are, how this website uses them and what choices you have regarding their use. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides further detail on how we handle personal data.
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website when you visit it. They are widely used to make websites function efficiently, to remember your preferences and to provide usage information to site operators. Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting (first-party cookies) or by third-party services that the website uses, such as analytics providers (third-party cookies).
Cookies can be session cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, or persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them manually.
How We Use Cookies
This website uses a limited number of cookies for the purposes described below. We categorise them into three groups.
Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the basic operation of the website. They enable core functionality such as page navigation and access to content. The site cannot function properly without them. Essential cookies do not collect personal data for marketing purposes.
Examples of essential cookie functions on this site include maintaining session state during your visit and remembering your cookie consent preference so that the consent prompt is not shown repeatedly.
Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the site by collecting information about pages visited, time spent on the site, referring sources and general navigation patterns. This data is aggregated and anonymised, meaning it cannot identify you personally.
We use analytics data to identify which content is most useful, to spot technical problems and to improve the overall user experience. Analytics cookies are only placed on your device if you give consent.
Preference Cookies
Preference cookies allow the website to remember choices you make, such as your preferred colour scheme or whether you have dismissed a particular notice. They improve your experience by personalising the site without requiring you to repeat actions on each visit.
Preference cookies are only set if you give consent.
Third-Party Cookies
Some pages on this site may embed content from or link to third-party services. When you interact with such content, those third parties may set their own cookies on your device. We do not control third-party cookies and are not responsible for them. Examples of third parties whose cookies may appear include analytics providers and external content embeds.
We recommend reviewing the cookie and privacy policies of any third-party service you interact with through this site. Relevant policies include:
- Google cookies policy (if Google Analytics or Google Fonts is used)
Your Choices
When you first visit this site, you will be presented with a cookie consent mechanism that allows you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. Essential cookies that are strictly necessary for the site to function cannot be disabled.
You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clearing cookies in your browser settings and revisiting the site, which will trigger a fresh consent prompt.
Managing Cookies in Your Browser
All modern web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically view, delete and block cookies for specific websites. The steps vary by browser, and the following links provide guidance for the most commonly used browsers:
- Google Chrome — manage cookies
- Mozilla Firefox — enhanced tracking protection
- Apple Safari — manage cookies
- Microsoft Edge — delete cookies
Please note that blocking or deleting cookies may affect the functionality of this website and other sites you visit. If you disable essential cookies, some features of the site may not work as intended.
Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) setting that sends a signal to websites requesting that your browsing activity is not tracked. There is currently no universal standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. We respect user privacy preferences and limit tracking to the analytics functions described above, which you can control through the cookie consent mechanism.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this cookie policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or in applicable regulations. When material changes are made, the “Last updated” date at the top of this page will be revised. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
