What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small text file that is stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used to make websites work, remember your preferences, and provide information to website owners about how their site is being used.

Cookies can be:

Session cookies — temporary files that are deleted when you close your browser.
Persistent cookies — files that remain on your device for a set period of time, or until you delete them.
First-party cookies — set directly by our website.
Third-party cookies — set by external services we use (such as Google Analytics).

How we use cookies

We use cookies for the following purposes:

To make our website function correctly (strictly necessary cookies).
To understand how visitors use our website so we can improve it (analytics cookies).
To remember your preferences and settings (functionality cookies).

We do not use cookies for advertising or marketing purposes.

Your consent

Except for strictly necessary cookies, we will only place cookies on your device with your prior consent. When you first visit our website, you will be shown a cookie banner asking for your consent. You can choose to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customise your preferences by category.

You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by clicking the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer of our website. Withdrawing consent is as easy as giving it, and doing so will not affect the lawfulness of any processing based on consent given before withdrawal.

Analytics cookies

We use analytics cookies to help us understand how visitors interact with our website — for example, which pages are visited most and whether any errors occur. This helps us improve the website. These cookies are only placed on your device with your consent.

We use Google Analytics for this purpose. Google may process this data on servers outside the UK. For more information, see Google’s Privacy Policy.

The data collected is aggregated and anonymised where possible and is used solely for statistical improvement of our website.
