This cookie policy explains what cookies are, how we use them on this website, and how you can control them. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which describes how we handle personal data more broadly.
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function correctly, to improve user experience, and to provide information to site operators. Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (first-party cookies) or by third-party services operating on the site (third-party cookies).
Cookies may be session cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, or persistent cookies, which remain on your device until they expire or you delete them manually.
How We Use Cookies
This website uses a limited number of cookies for the following purposes:
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the basic functioning of the website. They enable core features such as page navigation and may include cookies that record your cookie consent preferences. These cookies do not collect personal data for marketing purposes and cannot be disabled without affecting site functionality. Under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR), strictly necessary cookies do not require your consent.
Analytics Cookies
We may use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with the website — which pages are visited most frequently, how long visitors spend on each page, and which links are clicked. This data is collected in aggregated, anonymised form and is used solely to improve the content and performance of the site. Analytics cookies are placed only with your consent.
Preference Cookies
These cookies remember choices you make on the website, such as your cookie consent settings or display preferences. They improve your experience by avoiding the need to re-enter preferences on each visit. Preference cookies are placed only with your consent where they are non-essential.
Third-Party Cookies
Where we use third-party services (such as analytics providers), those services may set their own cookies on your device. We do not control the cookies set by third parties. We recommend reviewing the privacy and cookie policies of any third-party service whose cookies may appear on this site.
This website does not use advertising cookies, tracking pixels for retargeting, or social media sharing buttons that set cookies.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
When you first visit this website, you will be presented with a cookie consent notice that allows you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can change your preferences at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting the site, which will trigger the consent notice again.
You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, manage, and delete cookies. The following links provide guidance for the most commonly used browsers:
Google Chrome — Mozilla Firefox — Apple Safari — Microsoft Edge
Please note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of this website and other websites you visit.
Your Rights
Under UK GDPR and PECR, you have the right to withdraw your consent to non-essential cookies at any time. You also have the rights described in our Privacy Policy, including the right to access, rectify, or erase personal data collected through cookies.
If you have concerns about how cookies are used on this site, or if you wish to exercise your data protection rights, you may contact the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.
