What are cookies?
Cookies are small files stored on your device when you visit a website. They can be “session” cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or “persistent” cookies (kept for a defined period). Similar technologies include pixels, tags and local storage.
How we use cookies
We use cookies to: (i) make the site work (security, load‑balancing, form submission), (ii) remember your preferences (e.g., cookie choices), and (iii) measure website usage to help us improve. We do not use cookies to sell personal data.
Types of cookies we use
-
Strictly necessary – required for the site to function (security, network management, consent logging). These cannot be switched off.
-
Preferences/functionality – remember settings (e.g., language). Set only if you enable them.
-
Analytics – help us understand how the site is used (pages visited, time on page). Set only with your consent and configured to avoid identifying you where possible.
-
Marketing – used to deliver or measure advertising. We currently do not use marketing cookies on this site. If that changes, we will ask for your consent.
Your choices
On first visit (and periodically thereafter), you can Accept all, Reject all, or Manage settings. You can change your choices at any time via the Manage cookies link in the footer. If you reject non‑essential cookies, the site will still work, but some features may be limited.
Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control
Where applicable (for example, in certain U.S. states), we honour Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals as an opt‑out of sale/sharing and targeted advertising.
Third‑party cookies
Some cookies are set by third parties that provide services for us (e.g., hosting, performance, analytics). These providers may process limited data about your visit—see their privacy information for details.
International transfers
Where required, we apply appropriate safeguards for international data transfers (for example, Standard Contractual Clauses with additional measures). See our Privacy Policy for details.
Retention
Cookie lifetimes vary. Non‑essential cookies are retained only for as long as necessary for their purpose. You can delete cookies at any time via your browser.
