Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which types we use on this website, and how you can manage your preferences. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy. If you have questions, please contact us at [email protected].
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function properly, improve user experience, and provide information to site operators about how their sites are used.
Cookies are not programs and cannot carry viruses or access files on your computer. They allow websites to recognise your browser and remember certain information about your visit, such as your preferences or whether you have previously accepted our cookie notice.
2. Cookies We Use
We use the following categories of cookies on our website:
These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be disabled. They are typically set in response to actions you take such as submitting a form or setting privacy preferences. Examples include session management and security cookies. They do not store any personally identifiable information.
These cookies allow us to understand how visitors interact with our website. Information collected is aggregated and anonymous — we use it to improve the site's structure and content. For example, analytics cookies help us understand which pages are visited most often. Tools such as Google Analytics may be used for this purpose.
Marketing cookies may be used to track your visit across websites to deliver advertising that may be relevant to you. We use these sparingly and only with your consent. They may be set by advertising networks operating on our behalf.
Preference cookies enable the website to remember choices you have made — such as your cookie consent settings, language preference, or region. These help us provide a more personalised experience on return visits.
3. Third-Party Cookies
In addition to our own cookies, we may use cookies from the following third-party services where they are enabled:
- Google Analytics — for anonymised website usage statistics.
- Google Ads / Facebook Pixel — for tracking conversions from advertising campaigns, where applicable.
- Google Maps — embedded maps may place cookies related to map functionality.
Each third-party service has its own privacy and cookie policy. We encourage you to review these independently if you have concerns about cookies set by these services.
4. Cookie Duration
Cookies have varying lifespans depending on their purpose:
- Session cookies — temporary cookies that are deleted when you close your browser. Used for basic site functionality.
- Persistent cookies — remain on your device until they expire or you delete them. Typical durations range from 30 days to 24 months, depending on the cookie type.
- Our cookie consent preference record is stored for up to 12 months before we will ask for your preference again.
5. Your Cookie Preferences
