This cookie policy explains what cookies are, how we use them on this website, and how you can manage your cookie preferences. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and give website operators information about how visitors use their sites.
Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting (first-party cookies) or by third-party services operating on that website (third-party cookies). Cookies may persist for varying periods, from the duration of your browsing session (session cookies) to longer periods (persistent cookies).
How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for the following purposes:
Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the basic functioning of our website. They enable core features such as page navigation and access to secure areas. The website cannot function properly without these cookies, and they cannot be disabled.
Analytics Cookies
We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with our website. These cookies collect information about which pages are visited, how long visitors spend on the site, and how they arrived at our pages. This information helps us improve our content and user experience. Analytics data is aggregated and anonymised where possible.
Preference Cookies
These cookies allow our website to remember choices you make, such as display preferences or regional settings. They help provide a more personalised experience by storing your preferences for future visits.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on our website are placed by third-party services that appear on our pages. We do not control the cookies set by these services, and you should refer to their respective privacy and cookie policies for more information.
Third-party services we may use include website analytics providers, content delivery networks, and embedded content from external platforms. These services may use cookies to track usage patterns across multiple websites.
Managing Cookies
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically set your browser to block all cookies, accept all cookies, or notify you when a cookie is set. The specific steps vary by browser.
To manage cookies in common browsers, access the settings or preferences menu and look for privacy, security, or cookie options. You can usually find options to view existing cookies, delete cookies, and configure how cookies are handled in the future.
For more detailed guidance on managing cookies across different browsers and devices, you can visit aboutcookies.org or
allaboutcookies.org.
Consequences of Disabling Cookies
If you choose to disable cookies, some features of our website may not function as intended. Essential cookies are required for basic site operation, and blocking them may prevent you from accessing certain content or features. Analytics cookies help us understand and improve our service, and disabling them will not affect your browsing experience but will reduce our ability to analyse site performance.
Cookie Duration
Session cookies are automatically deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them manually. The duration of persistent cookies varies depending on their purpose, typically ranging from a few days to several months.
Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a Do Not Track setting that sends a signal to websites requesting that they do not track your browsing activity. There is currently no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to Do Not Track signals. We aim to respect user privacy preferences where technically feasible.
Updates to This Policy
We may update this cookie policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or relevant laws. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
