1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and provide information to the owners of the site. Cookies help us understand how you use our website and improve your experience.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly. They enable core functionality such as security, authentication, and accessibility features. Without these cookies, services you have requested cannot be provided.

Functional Cookies

These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. Examples include remembering your preferences, login status, and theme settings.

Analytics 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 see how visitors move around the site. We use Microsoft Clarity for this, which also records anonymised playback of how pages are used — clicks, scrolling and navigation — so we can find parts of the site that are confusing or broken. What you type into forms is masked, and we never record payment details.

4. Managing Cookies

You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when websites set or access cookies. If you disable or refuse cookies, please note that some parts of this website may become inaccessible or not function properly.

Most web browsers allow some control of cookies through browser settings. To find out more about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set and how to manage and delete them, visit www.aboutcookies.org.

Your Cookie Choices

Choose which cookies we may use. Essential cookies keep the site working and cannot be switched off; analytics and advertising are yours to decide, and you can change your mind here at any time.

5. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies may be set by third-party services that appear on our pages. We have no control over these cookies. Third-party cookies include Microsoft Clarity for website analytics and session playback, Google Analytics and Google Ads for measuring which adverts bring visitors, and Google OAuth for authentication services. You can read Microsoft's privacy statement for how Clarity handles this data.

6. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legislation, or our business operations. Please check this page periodically for updates.
