Cookies are small files or pieces of information that a website may store on, or read from, a device such as a computer, phone or tablet. Similar technologies can include local storage, pixels, scripts, tags and other mechanisms that store information or access information already stored on a device.

Some of these technologies are necessary for a website to operate. Others may be used for analytics, preferences, advertising, embedded content or other non-essential purposes.

This website may use technologies that are strictly necessary for security, page delivery, session integrity, load balancing, fraud prevention or other functions required to provide the website or a feature you have specifically requested.

If analytics, advertising, tracking, embedded social-media functionality or other non-essential technologies are enabled, they should only operate in accordance with the consent requirements that apply at the time.

Strictly necessary technologies are those required for the website or a service requested by the user to function. Examples can include technologies used to maintain security, remember a consent preference, submit a form safely, maintain a session or distribute website traffic correctly.

Consent is not normally required for technology that falls within a valid strictly necessary exemption, although clear information about its use should still be made available.

Analytics technologies can help a website operator understand how visitors use a site, which pages are viewed and how the site performs. Where analytics technologies are not strictly necessary, they should not be placed or accessed before the user has given valid consent.

If analytics are added to this website, the cookie controls and this policy should be updated to identify the relevant provider, purpose and duration.

Advertising, retargeting, behavioural tracking, cross-site tracking and similar technologies are not treated as essential merely because they may be commercially useful. Where such technologies require consent, they should remain disabled until valid consent has been obtained.

If advertising or tracking tools are introduced in future, this policy and the website's consent controls should be updated before those tools are activated.

Links to external services such as Instagram and WhatsApp do not necessarily place third-party cookies merely because the link is present. However, embedded widgets, videos, maps, feeds or other third-party content may cause information to be stored on or read from a visitor's device.

Where non-essential third-party storage or access occurs, the relevant technology should be blocked until the required consent has been obtained.

Where consent is required, it must be given by a clear positive action and should be freely given, specific and informed. Simply continuing to browse a website is not treated as valid consent for non-essential cookies.

Users should be able to reject non-essential technologies as well as accept them, and withdrawing or changing a consent choice should be reasonably straightforward.

Where this website presents cookie controls, you can use those controls to make or change your choices. You can also control cookies using your browser settings, although browser controls may not manage every type of storage or access technology.

Deleting or blocking certain technologies may affect some website features. Strictly necessary technologies may continue to operate where they are required to provide a service you request.

Cookies may be session cookies, which expire when a browser session ends, or persistent cookies, which remain for a defined period unless deleted earlier. Any cookie table published for this website should identify relevant durations where known.

We should periodically review the duration of any cookies or similar technologies used by the website and avoid retaining them for longer than reasonably necessary for their stated purpose.

The website may change over time. If new analytics, advertising, embedded services, tracking tools or other storage and access technologies are introduced, this policy and the consent mechanism should be reviewed and updated before those technologies are used where consent is required.

Where information collected through cookies or similar technologies is personal data, our Privacy Policy also applies. That policy explains the purposes and lawful bases for processing personal information, retention, sharing and individual rights.

We may update this cookie policy when the website, applicable law, regulatory guidance or the technologies used on the site change. The latest version will be published on this page.
