Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work correctly and to provide information to the website owner. Cookies do not contain personally identifiable information on their own, though they may be linked to personal data we hold about you.
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block these cookies, but some parts of the site may not function as a result.
Analytics and Performance Cookies
These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us understand which pages are the most and least popular and how visitors move around the site. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous.
Functional Cookies
These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalisation, such as remembering your preferences or language settings. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages.
Targeting and Advertising Cookies
These cookies may be set through our site by third-party advertising partners. They may be used to build a profile of your interests and show relevant adverts on other sites. They do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and device.
Third-Party Cookies
In some cases we use cookies provided by trusted third parties. This website may use analytics services such as Google Analytics, which set cookies to help us understand how you arrived at our site and how you interact with our content. These third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies, which we encourage you to review. We do not control cookies placed by third parties.
Managing and Disabling Cookies
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can manage your preferences in the following ways:
- Browser settings: Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can refuse cookies, delete existing ones, or be alerted when a cookie is placed. Please refer to your browser's help documentation for instructions.
- Opt-out tools: For analytics cookies, you may opt out directly through the relevant provider. Google Analytics offers a browser add-on that prevents your data from being used.
- Cookie consent banner: Where we display a cookie consent banner on this site, you can use it to manage your preferences at any time.
Please note that restricting cookies may affect the functionality of this website.
Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the information we hold against unauthorised access, loss, or misuse. However, no method of transmission over the internet is entirely secure, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of data transmitted to or from this website.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy & Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legislation, or our data practices. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
