1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your browser when you visit. They are widely used to make websites work correctly, to remember your preferences, and to give website owners a basic understanding of how visitors use their site.
A cookie typically stores a small amount of data — sometimes just a yes/no flag, sometimes an anonymous identifier — and it can only be read by the website that set it. Cookies do not contain your name, email address, or any other directly identifying information unless you have provided that information to the website separately.
We use cookies to keep this website functioning, to remember your cookie preferences so you are not asked again on every visit, and — with your consent — to collect anonymised data about how pages on this site are used.
2. Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
These cookies are required for the website to function. They cannot be turned off. They do not store personally identifiable information.
- cookieConsent — Stores your cookie preference so we do not show the consent banner on every page load. Duration: 12 months.
Analytics Cookies
With your consent, we use Google Analytics to collect anonymised data about how visitors use this website. This helps us understand which pages are most useful and where we can make improvements. No data is linked to you personally.
- _ga — Distinguishes unique users by assigning an anonymised identifier. Duration: 2 years.
- _ga_* — Stores session state. Duration: 2 years.
Marketing Cookies
Marketing cookies may be set if you have consented, to help us understand the effectiveness of any promotional activity. These cookies track visits across websites and may be used to show you relevant content elsewhere.
- Used by advertising platforms such as Google Ads and Meta (Facebook) to track conversions. Duration varies by platform, typically 90 days.
Preference Cookies
Preference cookies remember choices you make on this site, such as your region or display settings. Duration: up to 12 months.
3. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on this site are set by third-party services we use. We have no direct control over these cookies; they are governed by each provider's own privacy policy:
- Google Analytics — Anonymised usage tracking. See Google's Privacy Policy.
- Google Ads — Conversion tracking if you arrive from a Google advertisement. See Google's Privacy Policy.
- Meta (Facebook) Pixel — Conversion tracking if marketing cookies are accepted. See Meta's Privacy Policy.
4. Cookie Duration
Cookies fall into two duration categories:
- Session cookies — Temporary cookies that exist only while your browser is open. They are deleted automatically when you close the browser tab or window.
- Persistent cookies — Cookies that remain on your device for a set period (or until you delete them manually). The specific durations for each cookie we use are noted in Section 2.
5. Your Cookie Preferences
