1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make sites work, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the people who run the site. Similar technologies, such as local storage, perform comparable functions, and this policy treats them together for simplicity.
2. How we use cookies
We use cookies sparingly and with respect for your choices. A strictly necessary set keeps the website functioning and remembers your cookie preferences. Beyond that, optional cookies are used only when you give your consent through our cookie banner. You can change your mind at any time by clearing your stored preferences and revisiting the site.
3. Categories of cookies we use
Strictly necessary
These cookies are essential for the site to operate. They support core functions such as remembering the consent choices you make. Because the site cannot function properly without them, they are always enabled and do not require consent.
Analytics
With your consent, analytics cookies help us understand, in aggregate, how visitors use the site, for example which pages are most read. This helps us improve content and structure. The information is used in a summarised form and is not used to identify you personally.
Marketing
Marketing cookies would only be used if we run measured awareness campaigns, and only with your consent. They may help us understand whether a campaign reached its intended audience. They remain switched off unless you choose to enable them.
4. Third-party cookies
Some cookies may be set by third parties that provide services on our behalf, such as analytics platforms or content delivery for fonts and icons. These providers process information under their own privacy and cookie notices. Where such cookies are not strictly necessary, we load them only after you have given consent.
5. How long cookies last
Cookies are either session cookies, which expire when you close your browser, or persistent cookies, which remain for a set period. Our record of your cookie preferences is kept for up to twelve months, after which we will ask you again. Analytics and marketing cookies have their own lifespans, which depend on the providers used and are generally limited to what is necessary for their purpose.
6. Managing your preferences
When you first visit the site, our cookie banner lets you accept all cookies, reject optional cookies, or open the settings to choose category by category. You can revisit your decision at any time. If you clear the preferences stored by your browser, the banner will appear again so you can make a fresh choice.
7. Browser controls
Most browsers allow you to view, manage, and delete cookies through their settings. You can usually choose to block cookies or to be warned before one is stored. Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect how parts of this website function. Guidance for managing cookies is typically found in your browser's help section.
8. Updates to this policy
We may revise this Cookie Policy as our practices or the technologies we use change. Any updates will be reflected by the date shown at the top of this page. We recommend checking back occasionally so that you remain aware of how cookies are used.
