This cookie policy explains what cookies are, how this website uses them, what types of cookies we set, and how you can manage or disable them. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides further detail on how we handle personal data.
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function properly, to improve the user experience, and to provide information to the website owner about how the site is being used. Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (first-party cookies) or by third-party services that the website uses (third-party cookies).
Cookies can be session cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, or persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them manually.
How We Use Cookies
This website uses a limited number of cookies for the purposes described below. We categorise our cookies into three groups: strictly necessary, analytics, and preference cookies.
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function correctly. They enable basic features such as page navigation and access to secure areas of the site. The website cannot function properly without these cookies, and they cannot be disabled.
Cookie consent cookie. This cookie records your cookie preferences so that we do not ask you to set them each time you visit. It is set when you interact with our cookie consent notice. Duration: 12 months. First-party.
Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the website by collecting and reporting information about page views, traffic sources, and user behaviour. The data collected is aggregated and anonymised, meaning it does not identify individual visitors.
Google Analytics (_ga, _ga_*). These cookies are set by Google Analytics and are used to distinguish users, calculate visitor and session data, and track site usage for the site’s analytics report. The data is processed by Google under its own privacy policy. Duration: _ga persists for 2 years; _ga_* persists for 2 years. Third-party (Google).
Analytics cookies are only set after you have given your consent through our cookie consent mechanism. If you do not consent, these cookies will not be placed on your device, and we will not collect analytics data from your visit.
Preference Cookies
These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make, such as your preferred colour scheme (light or dark mode), to provide a more personalised experience.
Theme preference. If the website offers a manual theme toggle, this cookie stores your selection so it persists across pages and sessions. Duration: 12 months. First-party.
Third-Party Cookies
When you visit pages that contain embedded content from third-party services, those services may set their own cookies. We do not control these cookies. The third-party services used on this website that may set cookies include:
Google Analytics — as described above. You can opt out by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Google Fonts — loading web fonts from Google’s servers may result in Google recording your IP address. Google states that it does not set cookies via the Google Fonts API, but the connection to Google servers is subject to Google’s privacy policy.
How to Manage Cookies
You can control and manage cookies in several ways. Please note that removing or blocking cookies may affect the functionality and appearance of this website.
Browser settings. Most web browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings. You can typically find these in the “Privacy” or “Security” section of your browser’s preferences. You can choose to block all cookies, block only third-party cookies, or delete cookies that have already been set. The following links provide instructions for the most common browsers:
Google Chrome: support.google.com
Mozilla Firefox: support.mozilla.org
Apple Safari: support.apple.com
Microsoft Edge: support.microsoft.com
Cookie consent. When you first visit this website, you will be presented with a cookie consent notice that allows you to accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can change your preference at any time by clearing your cookies and revisiting the site, which will trigger the consent notice again.
Opt-out tools. For Google Analytics specifically, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, which prevents the Google Analytics JavaScript from sending data to Google Analytics.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this cookie policy to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. When we make changes, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. We recommend reviewing this policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.
