What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognise your device on subsequent visits, remember your preferences, and collect information about how you interact with the site.
Cookies are widely used to make websites work efficiently, to improve user experience, and to provide analytical data to website owners. They do not contain executable code and cannot carry viruses or malware.
Cookies are not the only tracking technology we may use. We may also use web beacons, pixels, and local storage for similar purposes. This policy covers all such technologies collectively referred to as ‘cookies.’
Where applicable, the use of cookies is governed by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and applicable data protection laws.

We categorise cookies by their function and the level of consent required:
Strictly Necessary Cookies · Always Active
Essential for the Website to function. They enable core features such as page navigation, form submission, and security. These cookies do not collect personally identifiable information and cannot be disabled without breaking the site.
Analytics Cookies · Consent Required
Help us understand how visitors interact with the Website — which pages are visited most, where traffic comes from, and how long users stay. We use Google Analytics for this purpose.
Preference Cookies · Consent Required
Allow the Website to remember choices you make — such as your cookie consent status or language preferences — to provide a more personalised experience on return visits.
Marketing Cookies · Consent Required
May be used to track visitors across websites to display relevant advertising and measure campaign effectiveness. We may use Meta Pixel or similar tools for this purpose.
