Cookie Policy
Last Updated: 18 March 2025
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They allow the site to remember information about your visit — such as your preferred settings or whether you have consented to analytics — so you do not have to provide that information again on your next visit.
Cookies cannot access other data on your device, run programmes, or carry viruses. They are a standard and widely used part of how websites function.
Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website to operate. They cannot be disabled because without them, certain core functions — such as remembering your cookie consent choice — would not work.
- cookieConsent — stores your cookie preference choices. Expires after 12 months.
- Session management — temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser, used to maintain the coherence of your session.
Analytics Cookies
With your consent, we use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our site — which pages are visited, how long visitors stay, and where they come from. This helps us improve the site. Data is aggregated and anonymised; we cannot identify individual visitors from analytics data.
- _ga, _ga_* — Google Analytics cookies. Expire after 2 years and 13 months respectively.
Preference Cookies
These cookies remember choices you have made on the site to provide a more personalised experience. They are optional.
Marketing Cookies
We do not currently use marketing or advertising cookies. If this changes, we will update this policy and seek fresh consent.
Third-Party Cookies
Google Analytics operates under Google's own privacy policy. Where you consent to analytics cookies, your usage data is processed by Google. We have configured Analytics to anonymise IP addresses and have disabled data sharing with Google for advertising purposes.
Cookie Duration
- Session cookies — deleted automatically when you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies — remain for a set period (12–24 months depending on type) unless you clear them manually.
