In short: We use a small number of cookies to make our website work, to remember your preferences, and to understand how the site is used. You can control or delete cookies through your browser at any time. This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, to make them work more efficiently, and to provide information to the site owner. “Similar technologies” such as pixels and local storage work in comparable ways, and we refer to all of them as “cookies” in this policy.
2. The types of cookies we use
- Strictly necessary cookies: Required for the website and its core features to function — for example, page navigation and secure areas. The site cannot work properly without these, so they cannot be switched off in our systems.
- Functional cookies: Remember choices you make (such as preferences) to give you a smoother experience.
- Analytics cookies: Help us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it. We use Google Analytics (via Google Tag Manager) for this, and the information is used in aggregate.
- Marketing cookies: Used to measure and improve our advertising. We use the Meta (Facebook) Pixel to understand the performance of our campaigns.

4. Third-party cookies
Some cookies may be set by third-party services we use (for example, an analytics provider, or embedded content). These providers have their own privacy and cookie policies, which govern their use of your information.
5. Managing and disabling cookies
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings, and set your browser to warn you before accepting cookies or to refuse them. Please note that if you disable strictly necessary cookies, parts of the site may not work as intended. Guidance for the most common browsers — Chrome, Safari, Edge and Firefox — is available in each browser’s help pages.
6. Your consent
By continuing to use our website, you agree to our use of cookies as described in this policy, except for strictly necessary cookies which are required for the site to function. Where the law requires your consent for non-essential cookies (such as analytics and marketing cookies), we will obtain it.
