Cookie Policy

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They can help a website function correctly, remember choices and, where permitted, provide information about how the website is used.

2. How we use cookies

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies for purposes including:

• Strictly necessary cookies — required for essential website functionality, security and remembering cookie choices.
• Analytics cookies — used, with the appropriate permission, to understand how visitors use the website and help us improve it.
• Functional cookies — used, where applicable and with the appropriate permission, to remember optional preferences or provide enhanced functionality.
• Marketing cookies — used, where applicable and with the appropriate permission, for advertising, measurement or tracking across websites.

We do not currently intend to use advertising or marketing cookies. If this changes, we will update this policy and our consent controls as appropriate.

3. Strictly necessary cookies

Strictly necessary cookies are required for the website or a service you request to operate properly. They may be used to maintain website security, support core functionality, protect against malicious activity and remember your cookie consent choices.

Where a cookie is strictly necessary, consent is not required for it to be used. These cookies should only be used where they meet the applicable legal requirements for the strictly necessary exemption.

4. Analytics cookies

With your permission, we may use analytics technologies to understand how visitors interact with our website.

This may include information such as pages viewed, how visitors navigate between pages, approximate engagement with website content and technical information about website performance.

Where consent is required, analytics cookies or similar technologies will not be activated until you have made the relevant choice through our cookie controls.

5. Functional cookies

Functional cookies may be used to remember optional choices or provide additional website features.

Where these technologies are not strictly necessary, they will only be used after the appropriate consent has been obtained.

6. Marketing cookies

We do not currently intend to use cookies for targeted advertising or cross-site marketing.

If we introduce advertising, remarketing, social media tracking or similar technologies in the future, we will update this policy and obtain any consent required before those technologies are used.

7. Managing your cookie preferences

When you first visit our website, where non-essential cookies are in use, you may be presented with cookie controls allowing you to accept or reject non-essential cookies and manage your preferences.

You can change your cookie choices at any time using the Cookie Settings option made available on our website.

You can also manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect the way certain website features operate.

8. Third-party services

Our website may use trusted third-party technology providers for services such as hosting, website functionality or analytics.

Some third-party services may use cookies or similar technologies. Where those technologies are non-essential and require consent, they will only be enabled after the appropriate consent has been obtained.

The specific cookies used on the live website may change as our technology and service providers change. Where appropriate, our cookie settings or consent tool will provide further information about the cookies currently in use.

9. How long cookies last

Cookies may be session cookies, which expire when you close your browser, or persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a defined period or until deleted.

The duration of a particular cookie depends on its purpose and the service that sets it. Information about specific non-essential cookies and their duration may be provided through our cookie settings where applicable.

10. Changes to this Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our website, the technologies we use or applicable legal requirements.

The latest version will be published on our website and the date at the top will show when it was last updated.
