Cookie Policy

Last updated: 30 September 2026

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember your actions and preferences over time. Similar technologies — such as local storage, pixels and tags — work in comparable ways, and this policy covers them collectively as "cookies".

2. Categories we use

Strictly necessary

Required for the website to function and to keep it secure. These cannot be switched off through our consent banner because the site cannot operate without them. They do not store information used for advertising.

Analytics and performance

Help us understand how visitors reach and use the site — which pages are viewed, how long visitors stay, and where they drop off. Data is aggregated and used to improve the site. These cookies are set only with your consent.

Marketing and advertising

Used to measure the effectiveness of our own advertising and to limit how often you see a given message. Where these involve advertising platforms, they may set their own identifiers. These cookies are set only with your consent.

3. Third parties

Some cookies are placed by third-party services we use, such as analytics providers, embedded media, and advertising platforms. Those providers act under their own privacy and cookie policies, which we recommend reviewing. We do not control the cookies they set.

4. Managing cookies

When you first visit the site, you can accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can change your choice at any time through the cookie settings link in the site footer.

You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies, and to be notified when one is set. Instructions for common browsers:

• Google Chrome — Settings › Privacy and security › Cookies and other site data
• Mozilla Firefox — Settings › Privacy & Security › Cookies and Site Data
• Apple Safari — Preferences › Privacy
• Microsoft Edge — Settings › Cookies and site permissions

Blocking all cookies may affect how the site functions.

5. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control

Where your browser sends a recognised opt-out preference signal, such as Global Privacy Control, we treat it as a valid request to disable non-essential cookies for that browser.

6. Retention

Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain for the period stated by the setting party, typically between one month and twenty-four months. Consent records are retained for as long as necessary to demonstrate compliance.

7. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as our use of cookies changes. The "last updated" date at the top will reflect the most recent revision.
