Cookie Policy

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small files placed on your device when you visit a website. They can help a website remember information about your visit, such as your preferences or a session identifier.

Similar technologies include local storage, tracking pixels and scripts that store information on your device or access information from it. References to cookies in this policy include these technologies where relevant.

• Session cookies generally last for the duration of your browsing session.
• Persistent cookies remain until their expiry date or until you delete them.
• First-party cookies are set under the website domain you are visiting.
• Third-party cookies are set under another organisation’s domain.

Whether consent is needed depends on the technology’s purpose and the applicable legal requirements, rather than its name or whether it is first-party or third-party.

2. Cookie categories

The categories below explain the purposes for which cookies may be used. The cookie information in section 4 should identify which technologies are actually active on this website.

Strictly necessary cookies

These support functions needed to provide a service you request, such as maintaining a secure session, protecting a submitted form or remembering your cookie choices.

Where a legal exemption applies, these technologies do not require consent. They must not be used for unrelated purposes under the label “strictly necessary”.

Preference cookies

These can remember optional choices, such as display settings. Where consent is required, they should only operate after you have agreed.

Analytics cookies

These can help measure how visitors use a website, including which pages are visited and where problems occur. Their consent requirements depend on the particular technology, configuration and applicable law.

Advertising and marketing cookies

These can measure advertising performance, connect visits with advertising interactions or support personalised advertising. Where used, these technologies require your consent before they operate.

3. Consent and your choices

Where consent is required, we must obtain it before placing or accessing the relevant technologies. Your choices should be clear, specific and capable of being changed.

Our cookie controls should allow you to:

• Accept optional cookie categories.
• Reject optional cookies.
• Choose between available categories.
• Revisit and change your choices.

Refusing optional cookies should not prevent you from accessing the basic website or contacting us, although a feature that depends on an optional third-party service may not load.

Withdrawing consent affects future use of the relevant technologies. It does not make earlier processing based on valid consent unlawful.

4. Cookies used on this website

Cookie information should identify the technology, provider, purpose, duration and relevant consent arrangements. This includes similar technologies that do not create a traditional cookie.

Technologies can vary between pages and features. Your browser settings may provide additional information about cookies stored on your device.

5. Third-party services

Embedded videos, maps, advertising tools, analytics services or other integrations may involve third-party technologies where those services are used.

Where consent is required, an integration should not load those technologies before you agree. This may mean that some embedded content remains unavailable until you make a choice.

The relevant providers and purposes must be identified in our cookie information. Their own privacy notices may also explain how they process information.

Selecting a link to a different website takes you to a service with its own privacy and cookie arrangements.

6. Changing your cookie preferences

Use the cookie settings control provided by our consent banner or website to revisit your choices. If you cannot find or use that control, please contact us.

Browser and device settings

Most browsers let you view, delete or block cookies. Your device may also offer advertising or tracking controls. Check the help section of your browser or device for instructions.

• Blocking essential cookies may prevent some website features from working.
• Deleting cookies may remove saved preferences, including your cookie choice.
• Choices may need to be set separately on different browsers or devices.
• Browser controls do not necessarily manage every type of similar technology.

Deleting cookies from your device does not automatically delete information already held by us or another provider.

7. Cookies and personal information

Information collected through cookies may be personal information where it identifies you or can be linked to you. Examples may include online identifiers, IP addresses and information about website activity.

Our Privacy Policy explains relevant processing purposes, lawful bases, sharing, international transfers, retention and your data protection rights.

A cookie’s expiry date describes how long it may remain on your device. Information collected using it may have a separate retention period, which should be explained in the relevant privacy information.

8. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when website technologies, services or legal requirements change. The latest version will appear on this page with its updated date.

If a change requires a new consent choice, we will request it before using the relevant technologies for that purpose.
