What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by the website when you visit. They help the site remember who you are, what settings you prefer, and how you interact with different sections. Some cookies are temporary (they disappear once you close your browser), while others remain for future visits.

We also use similar technologies that work alongside cookies, such as session identifiers and local storage mechanisms.

Why Cookies Are Used

Cookies help improve how the site works and how useful it is to you as a visitor. Depending on their type, cookies may:

  • Keep the site functioning properly
  • Save your settings or selections
  • Help analyse site performance and visitor behaviour
  • Support delivery of more relevant content
  • Assist in understanding how the site is being used to guide future improvements

Some cookies are placed by our site directly, while others may come from tools or services embedded in the platform.

Types of Cookies We May Use

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These are vital to the operation of the website and ensure that basic features — such as secure access and user session handling — work correctly. These cookies are always active and cannot be disabled using site preferences.

Functional Cookies

These help the site remember choices you’ve made — like language settings or interface preferences — and deliver a more tailored experience.

Analytics Cookies

Used to collect data on how visitors use the site. These cookies support understanding of traffic flow, navigation patterns, and overall performance. The information is collected in aggregate and does not personally identify users.

Targeting Cookies

These cookies help present content or messages that may be more relevant based on your previous activity or general browsing behaviour. They are only active if you’ve provided consent.

Your Control Over Cookies

When visiting the site for the first time, you may be given the option to accept or customise which cookies you allow. You can change these preferences later at any time using your browser settings.

Most web browsers let you disable, review, or delete cookies manually. Keep in mind that disabling certain cookies — especially those that are essential — may prevent parts of the site from functioning properly.

Each browser handles cookie settings differently, so you may need to check documentation specific to your device or system.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in how cookies are used on the site. When we do, the revised version will be made available on this page.
