What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help websites work properly, remember preferences, understand how visitors use a site, and support certain marketing or analytics functions.

Similar technologies may include pixels, tags, local storage, scripts and tracking tools that help websites recognise devices or measure activity.

How we use cookies

We may use cookies and similar technologies to:

• Make the website work correctly
• Improve security and prevent misuse
• Remember cookie preferences where applicable
• Understand how visitors use the website
• Improve website content, layout and performance
• Measure enquiries or interactions with our website

Types of cookies we may use

Essential cookies

Essential cookies are needed for the website to function properly. These may support basic features such as page navigation, security, form submission, cookie preference storage and website availability.

These cookies are usually necessary and cannot normally be switched off through our website controls.

Preference cookies

Preference cookies may remember choices you make on the website, such as cookie consent settings or display preferences.

Analytics cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use our website, including which pages are visited, how users move around the site and whether the website is performing effectively.

Where analytics cookies are not essential, we aim to use appropriate consent controls before they are activated.

Marketing and tracking cookies

Marketing or tracking cookies may be used to measure campaigns, understand conversions, support advertising activity or assess how users interact with our content.

Where these technologies are used, they should normally only be activated after appropriate consent has been given.

Third-party cookies and tools

Some cookies or similar technologies may be set by third-party services used on this website. These may include tools for analytics, website performance, form handling, security, embedded content or advertising measurement.

Third-party providers may process information according to their own privacy and cookie policies. We recommend reviewing the privacy information provided by those third parties where relevant.

Cookie consent

Where required, we aim to request consent before setting non-essential cookies or activating similar tracking technologies.

You may be able to accept, reject or manage non-essential cookies through the cookie banner or cookie settings tool on this website.

You can change your preferences at any time by reopening the cookie settings option, where available.

Managing cookies through your browser

You can also manage or block cookies using your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

• View cookies stored on your device
• Delete cookies from specific websites
• Block third-party cookies
• Block all cookies
• Clear cookies when closing the browser

Please note that blocking some cookies may affect how the website functions.

Cookies and website reviews

Cookie Compliance Reviews provides practical reviews of cookie banners, consent setup, analytics tags, advertising pixels and tracking behaviour on websites submitted to us.

If you submit a website for review, we may inspect publicly accessible parts of that website to identify visible cookie banners, tracking scripts, consent behaviour and related privacy controls.

Our observations are based on what is visible or detectable at the time of review and are intended as practical technical guidance, not legal advice.

How long cookies last

Cookies may be either session cookies or persistent cookies.

• Session cookies are usually deleted when you close your browser.
• Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them.

The duration of each cookie depends on its purpose and the provider setting it.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies, tools or technologies used on this website.
