This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, which cookies we use and why, and how you can manage your choices. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains more about how we handle your personal information.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that store small pieces of information. They are placed on your device when a website loads in your browser. Cookies help a website work properly, keep it secure, give you a better experience, and let the website owner understand how the site is performing and where it can be improved.

How we use cookies

Like most websites, we use both first party cookies, which are set by us, and third party cookies, which are set by other organisations whose services we use.

We use cookies to:

  • make our website work and keep it secure
  • understand how the website is performing and how people use it, so we can improve it
  • deliver and measure our advertising
  • speed up and improve your experience on future visits

Only the cookies needed to make the site work are set automatically. All other cookies, including analytics and advertising cookies, are set only if you agree to them.

Your cookie choices and how to manage them

When you first visit our website, we show you a cookie banner. You can accept all cookies, reject all non-essential cookies, or choose which categories to allow. Necessary cookies do not need your consent and are always active. Analytics and advertising cookies are placed only if you agree to them.

You can change or withdraw your choices at any time by clicking "Cookie settings".

Withdrawing your consent will not delete cookies that are already stored on your device, but you can remove those through your browser, as explained further below.

The cookies we use

The list below reflects the cookies in use when this policy was last reviewed. Third parties sometimes change the names, purposes and durations of their cookies, and we update this list as we become aware of changes.

  • Cloudflare, for security and performance
  • RudderStack, which we use to collect and route information about how the site is used

Managing cookies through your browser

You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you see the cookies stored on your device and delete them, block cookies from particular sites, or block all cookies. Your browser's help pages explain how to do this. Please note that if you block all cookies, some parts of our website may not work properly.
