What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function efficiently, improve user experience, and provide reporting information to site operators. Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting ("first-party cookies") or by third-party services operating on the website.

How We Use Cookies

Our website uses cookies for the following purposes:

  • Essential cookies — required for the basic operation of the site, such as session management and security tokens. These cannot be disabled without affecting site functionality.
  • Preference cookies — remember your choices, such as cookie consent status, to provide a personalised experience on return visits.
  • Analytics cookies — collect anonymised data about how visitors navigate and interact with our site. This helps us understand which pages are most useful and identify areas for improvement.

Cookies We Set

Cookie Consent

When you accept or reject cookies via our consent banner, we store a cookie named cookie_consent to remember your preference. This cookie expires after 365 days. Without it, the consent banner would appear on every page visit.

Session Cookies

Our contact form uses a session cookie to manage security tokens that protect against cross-site request forgery. This cookie is temporary and is deleted when you close your browser.

Third-Party Cookies

If you accept analytics cookies, third-party services may set their own cookies to collect usage data. These services operate under their own privacy policies. We do not control the cookies set by third parties, and we recommend reviewing their individual policies for detailed information.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You can manage your cookie preferences in several ways:

  • Our cookie banner — when you first visit our site, you can accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can revisit this choice at any time by clicking the cookie settings icon in the bottom-left corner of the page.
  • Browser settings — most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through their settings menu. Note that blocking essential cookies may impair site functionality.
  • Device settings — mobile devices typically offer cookie management options within their browser or privacy settings.
