Cookies Policy

Last updated: October 2026

Introduction

This cookies policy explains how our website uses cookies and similar technologies to enhance your browsing experience and improve website functionality. By continuing to use our website, you consent to our use of cookies as described in this policy.

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and provide information to website owners. Cookies typically contain a unique identifier and information about your preferences or browsing activity.

How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for several purposes to improve your experience on our website:

Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly and cannot be disabled in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as setting privacy preferences or filling in forms. Essential cookies do not store personally identifiable information but enable core website functionality.

Preference Cookies

These cookies remember your choices and preferences to provide enhanced, personalised features. For example, they may remember your cookie consent preferences or language settings. Information collected by preference cookies is typically anonymised and does not track your browsing activity on other websites.

Analytics Cookies

We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with our website. These cookies collect information about pages visited, time spent on the site, navigation patterns, and error messages encountered. This data helps us improve website structure and content. Analytics information is aggregated and anonymised.

Types of Cookies We Use

Session Cookies

Session cookies are temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser. They enable the website to remember your actions during a single browsing session, such as maintaining form data as you navigate between pages.

Persistent Cookies

Persistent cookies remain on your device for a specified period or until manually deleted. They remember your preferences across multiple visits, such as your cookie consent choice or preferred language settings.

Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies placed on your device may be set by third-party services we use to enhance website functionality or analyse usage patterns. These third parties have their own privacy policies governing how they collect and process data. We carefully select third-party providers and require them to respect privacy and data protection standards.

Cookie Duration

Different cookies have different lifespan periods:

  • Session cookies: deleted when browser is closed
  • Preference cookies: typically retained for twelve months
  • Analytics cookies: typically retained for twenty-six months
  • Consent cookies: retained until preference is changed or cookie is manually deleted

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You have several options for managing cookies:

Browser Settings

Most browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically set your browser to refuse all cookies, accept only certain cookies, or notify you when a cookie is being set. Instructions for managing cookies vary by browser; check your browser's help section for specific guidance.

Please note that blocking essential cookies may affect website functionality and prevent you from accessing certain features or services.

Cookie Consent Banner

When you first visit our website, you will see a cookie consent banner offering the choice to accept or decline cookies. Your preference is stored to prevent the banner from appearing on subsequent visits unless you clear your cookies or change devices.

Changing Your Preferences

You may change your cookie preferences at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting our website, which will display the consent banner again. Alternatively, you can adjust settings directly in your browser.

Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers offer a Do Not Track feature that sends signals to websites requesting they do not track your browsing activity. Currently, there is no universal standard for how websites should respond to these signals. Our website does not specifically respond to Do Not Track signals, but we limit tracking to the extent described in this policy.

Cookies and Personal Data

Most cookies we use do not collect personally identifiable information. However, some cookies may be associated with other data we collect about you, such as when you submit an enquiry form. In such cases, the combined information is handled according to our Privacy Policy and GDPR compliance practices.
