Cookie Policy
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device — computer, tablet, or phone — when you visit. They allow the website to remember certain information about your visit, such as your preferred settings or whether you have already seen a particular message.
Cookies do not contain executable code and cannot access other files on your device. They are used widely across the internet to make websites function correctly and to help site owners understand how their pages are being used.
Some cookies are placed by the website you are visiting (first-party cookies). Others are placed by third-party services that the website uses, such as analytics platforms (third-party cookies).
2. Cookies We Use
We use four categories of cookies on this website. The details of each are explained below.
3. Third-Party Cookies
Where you have consented to analytics or marketing cookies, certain third-party services may also set cookies on our website. These services have their own privacy and cookie policies:
- Google Analytics — website usage analytics (analytics cookies)
- Google Ads / Google Tag Manager — advertising measurement, where applicable (marketing cookies)
- Facebook Pixel — advertising retargeting, where applicable (marketing cookies)
- Bing Ads (Microsoft) — advertising measurement, where applicable (marketing cookies)
We do not have control over third-party cookies once they are set. You can manage or opt out of these directly through the respective platforms, or by using the preference controls below.
4. Cookie Duration
Cookies fall into two duration categories:
- Session cookies: Temporary cookies that exist only while your browser is open. They are deleted automatically when you close your browser. Used for secure session management.
- Persistent cookies: Cookies that remain on your device for a defined period, or until you delete them. Their expiry varies from a few days to up to two years, depending on their purpose.
Typical durations: Essential session cookies — session only. Cookie consent preference — 12 months. Analytics cookies — up to 26 months. Marketing cookies — 30–90 days depending on platform.
5. Your Cookie Preferences
You can choose which optional cookie categories to allow. Essential cookies are always active and cannot be changed. Your preferences are saved to your browser's local storage on this device.
