This cookie policy explains what cookies are, how this website uses them, and the choices you have regarding their use. Please read this policy carefully so you understand how cookies affect your experience on the site.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, tablet, or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site.
Cookies allow a website to recognise your device and store some information about your preferences or past actions. This is placeholder copy intended for layout and design purposes only and should be replaced with content reviewed by a qualified professional before the site goes live.
2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for a number of reasons, set out below. Unfortunately, in most cases there are no industry-standard options for disabling cookies without completely disabling the functionality and features they add to the site. We recommend that you leave all cookies enabled if you are not sure whether you need them, in case they are used to provide a service that you use.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
The cookies used on this website fall into the following categories:
- Strictly necessary cookies. These cookies are essential for the website to function properly. They enable core features such as page navigation, secure areas, and form submissions. The website cannot function correctly without them, and they cannot be switched off.
- Performance and analytics cookies. These cookies collect information about how visitors use the website, such as which pages are visited most often. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and anonymous.
- Functionality cookies. These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make, such as your language or region, to provide a more personal experience.
- Targeting and advertising cookies. These cookies record your visit to the website, the pages you have visited, and the links you have followed, in order to make advertising more relevant to your interests.
4. First-Party and Third-Party Cookies
First-party cookies are set directly by this website. Third-party cookies are set by a domain other than the one you are visiting, typically because we use external services for analytics, embedded content, or advertising.
We do not control the setting of third-party cookies, so we recommend you check the relevant third-party websites for more information about their cookies and how to manage them. Examples of third-party services that may set cookies include the following:
- Website analytics providers used to understand visitor behaviour.
- Embedded content such as videos, maps, or social media feeds.
- Advertising networks that help deliver relevant content.
5. How Long Cookies Last
Cookies can remain on your device for different lengths of time. Session cookies are temporary and are deleted as soon as you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device until they expire or until you delete them manually. The length of time a persistent cookie stays on your device depends on its individual expiry date.
6. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You can control and manage cookies in a number of ways. Most browsers allow you to refuse or accept cookies, delete existing cookies, and set preferences for certain websites. Please note that restricting cookies may affect the functionality of this website and other sites you visit.
To manage cookies in your browser, you can usually find the relevant settings in the “Options”, “Preferences”, or “Settings” menu. The following options are commonly available:
- Block all cookies, or block only third-party cookies.
- Delete cookies that are already stored on your device.
- Receive a notification before a cookie is stored.
- Clear cookies automatically each time the browser is closed.
If the website provides a cookie consent banner, you can also update your preferences at any time using the controls provided there.
7. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this cookie policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legislation, or the way we operate the website. Any changes will be published on this page, and the “last updated” date at the top will be revised accordingly. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed.
