Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your device and store certain information about your preferences or behaviour. Cookies are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, improve user experience, and provide analytical information to site owners.

Similar technologies — including web beacons, pixels, local storage, and session storage — may also be used for similar purposes, and references to "cookies" in this policy cover these technologies too.

We use cookies to:

• Ensure the website functions correctly and securely
• Remember your preferences such as cookie consent
• Understand how visitors use our site (pages visited, time spent, traffic sources)
• Measure the effectiveness of our content and improve our website over time
• Provide a consistent experience across sessions

We do not use cookies for intrusive advertising, to build profiles for ad targeting, or to track you across third-party websites for commercial gain.

By duration

• Session cookies — exist only for the duration of your browser session and are deleted when you close your browser
• Persistent cookies — remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them manually

By purpose

• Strictly necessary — required for the website to function. Cannot be disabled without breaking core functionality
• Functional / preference — remember your settings and choices (e.g., cookie consent preferences)
• Analytics / performance — help us understand site traffic and usage patterns anonymously
• Marketing / targeting — we do not currently use cookies for marketing or advertising purposes

This list is reviewed and updated when our cookie usage changes. If we introduce new cookies, we will update this policy and, where required, seek your consent.

Some cookies are placed by third-party services we use to operate our website:

• Google Analytics — we use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our site. Data collected is anonymised (IP addresses are truncated) and is subject to Google's Privacy Policy. You can opt out using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

We do not permit third-party advertisers to place cookies on our website. If that changes, we will update this policy and seek consent where required.

Via your browser settings

California residents

Under the CCPA/CPRA, California residents have the right to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information. We do not sell personal information. The analytics cookies we use (Google Analytics) are configured with IP anonymisation and are used solely for internal analytics — not for cross-context behavioural advertising. If you wish to opt out of Google Analytics specifically, use the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. For broader CCPA rights, see our Privacy Policy — California section.

Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. Our website does not currently respond to DNT signals as there is no agreed industry standard for how they should be interpreted. We encourage you to use the cookie controls above to manage your preferences.

We may update this Cookie Policy as our technology and legal obligations change. When we do, the "Last Updated" date above will be revised. Continued use of our website after any update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy for non-essential cookies (where consent is not required by law). For changes that require renewed consent, we will display a new cookie banner.
