Cookie Policy

1. What Cookies Are

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device. They allow the site to remember your actions and preferences over time, for example that you already dismissed a notification, or that you prefer a particular language. Similar technologies such as local storage and pixel tags work in much the same way, and this policy covers them together with cookies.

Cookies are not programs and cannot access other files on your device. They are read only by the site that set them, unless third-party cookies are enabled, which the section below explains.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

We keep cookie use as light as possible and group them into three categories:

• Strictly necessary cookies — required for the site to function, such as remembering your consent choice or maintaining a session. These cannot be switched off through the site.
• Analytics cookies — help us understand how visitors use the site, which pages work and which do not. Data is aggregated and does not identify you personally.
• Marketing cookies — only set with your consent, and used to measure whether campaigns reached the right audience. We do not use them to build cross-site profiles for sale.

We do not use cookies to collect sensitive personal data, and we do not permit advertising networks to place cookies on this site without a clear, optional consent step.

3. Third-Party Cookies

Some pages include services from other providers, for example embedded maps, fonts or analytics. Those providers may set their own cookies when you interact with the embedded content. We choose providers carefully, but their cookies are governed by their own policies, which we recommend reading if you want the full picture.

If you block third-party cookies altogether, embedded maps and some media may not display correctly, though the rest of the site will still work.

4. How to Control Cookies

You can manage cookies in several ways, and blocking them usually does not stop you browsing the public parts of our site:

• Use the consent banner on your first visit to accept or reject non-essential cookies.
• Adjust your browser settings to block or delete cookies, either generally or per site.
• Use a private or incognito window so cookies are removed when you close the session.
• Install a browser extension that manages tracking technologies on your behalf.

Remember that clearing cookies also removes your saved preferences, including the record of your consent choice, so the banner may appear again on your next visit.

5. Retention and Updates

Most cookies on this site expire within a year, and many last only for the length of your visit. Consent records are kept longer so we can prove we asked properly. If we introduce a new cookie category that changes how data is used, we will update this policy and ask for fresh consent where the law requires it.

This Cookie Policy works alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions. Where there is any conflict on data matters, the Privacy Policy takes priority. For questions about cookies or tracking, contact us using the details on our contacts page.
