Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet or phone) when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognise your device and remember information about your visit, such as your preferences and settings.

First-party cookies are set by the website you are visiting, while third-party cookies are set by other domains — usually for analytics or advertising purposes. Session cookies expire as soon as you close your browser, whereas persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period of time, or until you delete them.

We use cookies to:

• Ensure our website functions correctly.
• Remember your cookie consent preference so we don't keep asking.
• Understand how visitors use our site, through analytics.
• Support marketing activities, where you have given consent.

We do not use cookies to collect personal data without your consent, and we do not sell cookie-derived data to anyone.
