Cookies Policy

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to website owners.

Cookies can be "persistent" or "session" cookies. Persistent cookies remain on your device when you go offline, while session cookies are deleted as soon as you close your web browser.

How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for several purposes:

• To enable certain website functions
• To remember your preferences and settings
• To understand how visitors use our website
• To improve your browsing experience
• To deliver relevant content and, where permitted, advertising

Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly. They enable basic features such as page navigation, secure access to certain areas, and remembering your cookie consent preferences. The website cannot function properly without these cookies, and they cannot be disabled.

Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. This helps us improve the website's structure and content based on how visitors navigate and use it.

Marketing Cookies

These cookies are used to track visitors across websites. The intention is to display advertisements that are relevant and engaging for individual users. We only use marketing cookies with your consent.

Third-Party Cookies

In addition to our own cookies, we may also use various third-party cookies to report usage statistics of the website and deliver advertisements on and through the website. These third parties have their own privacy policies addressing how they use such information.

Third parties that may set cookies through our website include:

• Google Analytics: Web analytics service that tracks and reports website traffic
• Google Ads: Advertising platform for displaying relevant advertisements
• Facebook/Meta: Social media platform for advertising and sharing features

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

When you first visit our website, you will be presented with a cookie banner allowing you to accept or customise your cookie preferences. You can change your preferences at any time by clicking the "Cookie Preferences" link in the website footer or by adjusting your browser settings.

• View what cookies are stored and delete them individually
• Block third-party cookies
• Block cookies from particular websites
• Block all cookies from being set
• Delete all cookies when you close your browser

Please note that blocking all cookies will affect your experience on many websites, not just ours. Some features may not function properly or at all.

Similar Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may use other similar technologies:

Local Storage

Local storage allows websites to store data in your browser that persists even after you close your browser. We may use local storage to save your preferences and improve site performance.

Session Storage

Similar to local storage, but data is cleared when you close your browser tab. Used for temporary data during your browsing session.

Web Beacons

Small graphic files (also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs) that may be included in our web pages and emails. They help us understand how visitors interact with our content and whether emails have been opened.

Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want to be tracked. Because there is no commonly accepted standard for interpreting DNT signals, our website does not currently respond to them. However, you can manage your cookie preferences using the methods described above.

Consent and Legal Basis

Under UK law, we are required to obtain your consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device. We do this through our cookie consent banner when you first visit the website.

Essential cookies do not require consent as they are necessary for the website to function. By continuing to use our website after being presented with the cookie notice, you acknowledge the use of essential cookies.

You can withdraw your consent for non-essential cookies at any time by adjusting your cookie preferences or browser settings.

Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legislation, or our data practices. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
