How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for the following purposes:

Essential cookies: these are necessary for the basic functioning of our website. They enable core features such as page navigation and access to content sections. Without these cookies, the website cannot function properly. Essential cookies do not collect personal data used for marketing purposes.

Analytics cookies: we use analytics services to understand how visitors interact with our content. These cookies collect information about which pages are visited, how long visitors spend on each page, which links are clicked, and how visitors arrive at our site. This data is collected in aggregated, anonymised form and is used solely to improve our content and website performance. Analytics cookies are only placed with your consent.

Functionality cookies: these remember your preferences, such as cookie consent choices, to provide a more consistent experience when you return to our site. Functionality cookies do not track your browsing activity on other websites.

Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on our website are set by third-party services that we use for analytics and performance monitoring. These third-party providers have their own privacy and cookie policies, which govern their use of the data they collect. We recommend reviewing their policies directly. We do not permit third-party advertising cookies on our website.
