This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites can place on your computer, smartphone, tablet or other device when you visit a website.
Cookies and similar technologies can help a website remember information, understand how visitors interact with it, improve the website experience, and support certain marketing or measurement activities.
Cookies are not the only technology covered by these rules. Similar technologies, such as tracking pixels, scripts, tags and certain forms of web storage, may also store or access information on your device.
2. How we use cookies
We may use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:
Strictly necessary cookies
These technologies are required for the website to function properly or to provide a service you have requested.
They may support functions such as:
Website security and functionality
Remembering certain website or consent preferences
Enabling essential website features
Supporting the operation of forms and other website functions
These technologies do not require consent where they are strictly necessary for the service you have requested.
Analytics cookies
Where you give consent, we use analytics technologies to understand how visitors use our website.
We use Google Analytics 4 for this purpose.
Analytics information can help us understand things such as:
Which pages receive visits
How visitors navigate the website
How visitors interact with website content
General website performance
Where improvements may be needed
Google Analytics is only enabled through our consent mechanism where the relevant analytics consent has been provided.
Marketing cookies and tracking technologies
Where you give consent, we may use marketing and advertising technologies to understand interactions with our website and help us measure or improve our marketing activities.
We use Meta Pixel for this purpose.
Meta Pixel may help us understand actions taken on our website following interactions with our marketing or social media activity. It may also support measurement and audience-related advertising functions provided by Meta.
Marketing and tracking technologies are not intended to be loaded before the relevant consent has been provided.

You do not have to accept non-essential cookies in order to browse our website.
Where consent is required, we will not use the relevant non-essential storage or access technologies before you have provided consent.
This approach is designed to give you meaningful control over non-essential cookies and similar technologies, in line with applicable UK privacy and electronic communications requirements.
4. Changing or withdrawing your consent
You can change your cookie preferences after you have made your initial choice.
If you withdraw consent, we will stop using the relevant non-essential technologies where our consent mechanism allows us to do so. You may also need to delete existing cookies through your browser if you wish to remove information already stored on your device.

These third parties may process information collected through their technologies in accordance with their own privacy policies and terms.

Cookies can be either:
Session cookies, which generally expire when you close your browser; or
Persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a defined period or until they are deleted.
The duration of individual cookies can vary depending on their purpose and the service providing them.
We do not list specific cookie names or expiry periods in this policy unless we have verified the current technical configuration of the website. This is because cookie configurations can change when website functionality, plugins or third-party services are updated.
