This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar technologies when you visit or interact with our website. It describes what cookies are, why we use them, the types of cookies that may be placed on your device, and how you can manage your preferences.
By continuing to use our website, you acknowledge that cookies may be used in accordance with this policy, subject to your choices and any applicable legal requirements.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other device when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your device and remember certain information about your visit.
Cookies can serve a variety of purposes. For example, they may help a website function correctly, keep you signed in, remember your preferences, measure website performance, or understand how visitors move through different pages.
Cookies generally do not contain information that directly identifies you. However, information stored in cookies may be linked to other information that we hold about you, depending on how you use the website.
Types of Cookies
Cookies may be classified according to how long they remain on your device and who places them.
Session Cookies
Session cookies are temporary cookies that remain on your device only while your browser is open. They are usually deleted automatically when you close your browser.
These cookies may be used to support basic website functions, such as maintaining your session as you move between pages.
Persistent Cookies
Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period of time or until you delete them manually. They may be used to remember your preferences or recognise your device when you return to the website.
First-Party Cookies
First-party cookies are placed directly by our website. They are commonly used to provide essential functionality, remember settings, and collect information about website usage.
Third-Party Cookies
Third-party cookies are placed by external service providers whose tools or content may appear on our website. These providers may use cookies to deliver services such as analytics, embedded content, or other website features.
Any third-party cookies are subject to the privacy and cookie policies of the relevant third-party provider.
How We Use Cookies
We may use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes.
Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are necessary for the website to operate correctly. They support core functions such as page navigation, security, account access, form submissions, and session management.
Without these cookies, certain parts of the website may not function properly. Because they are required for the operation of the website, essential cookies generally cannot be disabled through our cookie settings.
Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use and interact with the website. They may collect information such as:
- The pages you visit
- The time you spend on each page
- The links or buttons you select
- The type of device or browser you use
- The website or page that referred you to us
- Whether you experience errors or technical issues
We use this information to measure website performance, identify popular content, understand visitor behaviour, and improve the design, functionality, and usability of the website.
Where required by law, analytics cookies will be used only with your consent.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow the website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced or more personalised features.
For example, these cookies may remember:
- Your preferred language
- Your location or regional settings
- Display and accessibility preferences
- Previously entered information
- Other settings selected during an earlier visit
If you disable functional cookies, some personalised features may not work as intended.
Performance Cookies
Performance cookies collect information about how efficiently the website operates. They may help us monitor loading times, identify technical problems, and improve the overall reliability of the website.
The information collected by these cookies is generally aggregated and used to improve website performance rather than identify individual users.
Similar Technologies
In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies, including pixels, tags, local storage, scripts, and software development kits.
These technologies may perform functions similar to cookies, such as remembering preferences, measuring website activity, supporting security, or helping us understand how visitors interact with our services.
References to cookies in this policy also include these similar technologies where appropriate.
Information Collected Through Cookies
Depending on the cookies used, we may collect information such as:
- Your IP address
- Browser type and version
- Device type
- Operating system
- Approximate location
- Pages viewed
- Date and time of visits
- Referring website
- Interactions with website features
- Cookie identifiers
- User preferences
Some of this information may be considered personal data under applicable privacy laws. Where this is the case, we will handle it in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
How Long Cookies Remain on Your Device
The length of time a cookie remains on your device depends on whether it is a session cookie or a persistent cookie.
Session cookies are normally deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain until they expire or are deleted through your browser settings.
The exact retention period may vary depending on the purpose of the cookie and the service provider responsible for it.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You can control and manage cookies in several ways.
Most web browsers allow you to:
- View which cookies are stored on your device
- Delete existing cookies
- Block all cookies
- Block third-party cookies
- Allow cookies only from selected websites
- Receive a warning before a cookie is stored
The method for changing cookie settings varies by browser. You can usually find these controls in the privacy, security, or settings section of your browser.
Please note that blocking or deleting cookies may affect your experience on the website. Certain pages, services, or features may not work correctly if essential or functional cookies are disabled.
Withdrawing Consent
Where we rely on your consent to use non-essential cookies, you may withdraw that consent at any time through the cookie preference controls available on the website.
Withdrawing consent will not affect the lawfulness of any cookie use that occurred before your consent was withdrawn.
You may also need to delete cookies already stored on your device through your browser settings.
Third-Party Services
We may use third-party service providers to support website functionality, analytics, hosting, security, or other services.
These third parties may place or access cookies on your device when you use our website. We do not necessarily control how third parties use their cookies or the information they collect.
You should review the privacy and cookie policies of the relevant third-party providers for more information about their practices and your available choices.
Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” setting that allows users to express a preference regarding online tracking.
There is currently no universally accepted standard for responding to Do Not Track signals. As a result, our website may not respond to all such signals. You can still manage cookies through your browser settings or any cookie preference tools provided on the website.
Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technologies, legal obligations, or the services we provide.
When we make changes, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this policy. Where appropriate, we may also provide additional notice of significant changes.
We encourage you to review this policy periodically to remain informed about how we use cookies.
