Cookie Policy

Last updated: 21 April 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how cookies and similar technologies are used on this website.

It is written as a general guide to help you understand what cookies do, why they are used, and how you can control them.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites function, remember preferences, and collect information about how the site is used.

Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (first-party cookies) or by third-party services used by that website.

Some cookies are deleted when you close your browser (session cookies), while others remain on your device for a period of time (persistent cookies).

Why are cookies used?

Cookies are typically used to make websites work properly and provide a better user experience.

Depending on the website, cookies may be used to:

  • keep essential features running securely;
  • remember settings such as language, region, or preferences;
  • measure website traffic and performance;
  • understand how users interact with pages and features;
  • support content personalisation or marketing where enabled.
What types of cookies are commonly used?

Websites often group cookies into categories such as:

  • Strictly necessary cookies, required for core site functions and security;
  • Functional cookies, used to remember choices and improve convenience;
  • Analytics or performance cookies, used to understand usage and improve the site;
  • Advertising or targeting cookies, used to deliver relevant ads and measure campaign performance.

The exact categories in use can vary by website and may change as services evolve.

How long do cookies stay on my device?

Cookie duration depends on the cookie type. Session cookies expire when your browser session ends. Persistent cookies remain until their set expiry date or until you remove them manually.

Do third parties place cookies through websites?

Yes. Some cookies are set by third-party services integrated into websites, such as analytics providers, video platforms, maps, payment gateways, social media widgets, or advertising partners.

These providers may process cookie information according to their own privacy and cookie notices.

How can I manage or disable cookies?

You can usually control cookies through your browser settings and any cookie preference tools provided on a website. You may be able to accept, reject, or delete cookies, either globally or by category.

Blocking certain cookies can affect functionality and may prevent parts of a website from working as intended.

What other tracking technologies might be used?

In addition to cookies, websites may use similar technologies such as pixels, local storage, tags, software development kits, and server-side identifiers for security, analytics, and performance purposes.

Where these technologies process personal data, they are typically covered by the website's privacy notice in addition to its cookie notice.

This Cookie Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect legal, technical, or operational changes. The latest version is shown on this page with the revised date.
