1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, to provide functionality, to remember your preferences and to provide information to the website owner.
We also use similar technologies such as local storage, session storage and pixel tags ("similar technologies"). References to "cookies" in this Policy include those technologies unless the context requires otherwise.
2. Categories Of Cookies We Use
2.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These are essential for the Site to function. They do not require consent. They enable core functionality including authentication, security and load balancing. Without these cookies the Site cannot operate properly.
2.2 Functional Cookies
These remember preferences you set during your visit, such as your acknowledged region or cookie banner choice. They are set only after your consent or where strictly necessary for a feature you have requested.
2.3 Analytics Cookies
Where enabled, these help us understand how visitors use the Site so we can improve it (for example, which pages are most viewed, how long visitors spend on the Site, and which sources brought them here). Analytics cookies are set only with your consent.
2.4 Marketing Cookies
We do not currently use third-party marketing or advertising cookies on this Site. If this changes, this Policy will be updated and we will request your consent before any such cookies are set.
3. Controlling Cookies
Use the button below to review or change your cookie choices on this site at any time. You can also control cookies more broadly through your browser settings - most browsers allow you to view, delete and block cookies, including blocking cookies from particular sites.
Detailed guidance for each major browser is available at:
Please note that disabling strictly necessary cookies will prevent parts of the Site from functioning correctly, including authentication and secure form submissions.
4. Do-Not-Track Signals
We respect Do-Not-Track ("DNT") browser signals where it is technically practicable to do so. Because our default position is not to set non-essential cookies without consent, the practical effect of a DNT signal aligns with our standard processing.
5. International Visitors
Some of our service providers operate from outside the United Kingdom. Cookies and similar identifiers set by those providers may transfer technical data outside the United Kingdom. Such transfers are made under appropriate safeguards as described in our Privacy Policy.
6. Children
Our Site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly direct cookies or similar tracking technologies at children under the age of eighteen.
7. Changes To This Policy
We may update this Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, regulation or our use of cookies. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates when the current version came into effect. Where material changes are made, we will request renewed consent if required by law.
