Cookie Policy

1. What Cookies Are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognise your device on subsequent visits, remember your preferences, and — where analytics are in use — collect information about how the site is being used.

Cookies can be:

• Session cookies — temporary files that expire when you close your browser
• Persistent cookies — files that remain on your device for a set period or until manually deleted
• First-party cookies — set directly by the website you are visiting
• Third-party cookies — set by a service provider operating on the website's behalf

2. Categories of Cookies We Use

We use three categories of cookies on this website:

3. Cookie Inventory

The following table lists the specific cookies in use on this website at the time of this policy's last update.

Analytics cookies are only placed if you accept optional cookies via the consent banner. If you decline, only the essential session cookie and consent preference cookie are set.

4. Your Consent Choices

When you first visit our website, a consent banner is displayed at the bottom of the screen. You may accept all cookies or decline optional cookies (analytics and preference). Essential cookies are always active.

Your choice is stored in the cookie_consent preference cookie and respected on all subsequent visits for 12 months.

You may update your preference at any time by clearing your browser cookies, which will cause the consent banner to reappear on your next visit. Instructions for clearing cookies in common browsers are available in your browser's help documentation.

5. Managing Cookies Through Your Browser

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically:

• View cookies currently stored on your device
• Block all or specific cookies
• Delete existing cookies
• Set preferences for specific websites

Please be aware that blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of some websites, including aspects of this one. Blocking essential cookies may prevent certain features from working as intended.

Browser cookie settings vary by application and version. Documentation for common browsers — Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge — is available through each browser's support centre.

6. Third-Party Analytics

Where analytics cookies are accepted, we use Google Analytics to collect aggregated, anonymised data about site usage. Google Analytics is operated by Google LLC. The data collected is processed by Google in accordance with its own privacy policy, which is available at policies.google.com/privacy.

We have configured Google Analytics with IP anonymisation enabled. This means that visitor IP addresses are truncated before storage and are not retained in identifiable form.

You may opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

7. No Advertising or Tracking Cookies

We do not use advertising cookies, retargeting cookies, or cookies that track you across third-party websites. We do not share cookie data with advertising networks. This website is not monetised through advertising and we do not build visitor profiles for commercial purposes.

8. Updates to This Policy

We review this Cookie Policy periodically and when changes to our website or applicable law make an update necessary. The date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Material changes — such as the introduction of new categories of cookies — will be communicated via the consent banner.
