Cookie Policy

A cookie is a small text file placed on your device when you visit a website. Websites rely on cookies to work, to remember your preferences, and to show the site operator how visitors use the site.

Cookies can be “first-party” (set by the website you are visiting) or “third-party” (set by a service used by the website, such as an analytics platform). They can be “session” cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or “persistent” cookies (stored until they expire, or until you delete them).

We use cookies for four purposes:

These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function, and you cannot turn them off. Without them, features like page navigation, form submission, and login would not work.

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the website. We only see aggregated, anonymous data — we cannot identify individual visitors from it.

We keep analytics data for 26 months and then delete it. You can opt out of analytics cookies through our cookie settings.

These cookies remember your settings so you do not have to re-enter them on each visit.

We do not currently use marketing or advertising cookies. We do not run third-party advertising on this website, and we do not use tracking pixels from advertising networks.

Our cookie consent banner includes a marketing cookies toggle for transparency and future-proofing. If we introduce marketing cookies in the future, we will only set them with your explicit consent, and we will update this policy accordingly.

Our website uses the following third-party services. Each may set their own cookies or collect data according to their own privacy policies:

You can manage your cookie preferences in three ways:

• Our cookie banner — click the cookie icon in the bottom-left corner of any page to open your preferences and toggle individual cookie categories on or off
• Browser settings — most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through their settings menu. Note that blocking essential cookies may prevent the website from functioning correctly
• Clear localStorage — localStorage holds your cookie preferences. Clearing your browser's site data resets them, and the cookie banner will appear again on your next visit

For instructions on managing cookies in specific browsers, visit:

• Google Chrome
• Mozilla Firefox
• Safari
• Microsoft Edge

Our use of cookies falls under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003UK regulations (PECR) that sit alongside UK GDPR and govern the use of cookies, electronic marketing, and telecommunications privacy. (PECR) and the UK GDPRThe UK General Data Protection Regulation — the UK's data protection framework retained after Brexit..

• Essential cookies are exempt from consent under PECR Regulation 6(4) as they are strictly necessary for the service
• Non-essential cookies (analytics, preference, marketing) require consent under PECR Regulation 6. We ask for this through our cookie consent banner
• Personal data collected through cookies falls under UK GDPR. Our lawful basis for analytics processing is consent (Article 6(1)(a))

We may update this cookie policy as our website evolves or as the law changes. The date at the top of this page reflects the current version. Where changes are significant — for example, if we introduce a new category of cookie — we will reset the cookie consent banner so you can make a fresh choice.
