Cookie Policy

What are cookies and how do we use them?

Like most websites, our website (“site”) uses cookies and similar technologies to distinguish you from other users, store and manage preferences, deliver targeted advertising, enable content, and gather analytics data. This helps us to provide you with a good browsing experience and allows us to improve our site.

Cookies

Cookies are text files containing small amounts of information that are downloaded to your device when you visit a website or embedded in a web page. They may be sent back to the original website on each subsequent visit or to another website that recognises that cookie. Cookies help websites recognise a user’s device and remember actions and preferences (such as login details, language, or font size) over time.

Security measures are in place to prevent unauthorised access to our cookies and similar technologies. A unique identifier ensures that only we and our authorised service providers can access cookie data.

We rely on your consent to use certain types of cookies, except those that are strictly necessary. You can refuse cookies at any time by changing your settings when entering the website, using the consent portal, or adjusting the cookie settings in your browser.

More information about cookies, including how to see which cookies are set on your device and how to manage or delete them, can be found at www.aboutcookies.org and www.youronlinechoices.eu.

Web beacons

Web beacons (also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs) are transparent graphic images used with cookies to measure visitor actions on websites. We may use them to collect information such as IP address, page URL, time viewed, and browser type.

IP addresses and URLs

An IP address identifies your device on the internet. We may use this information to determine general location and understand where visitors come from to improve site experience. A URL (uniform resource locator) identifies each web resource. We use it to see which pages are visited and how users navigate our site.

How long do cookies last?

We use both session cookies (which expire when you close your browser) and persistent cookies (which remain for a longer period). You can block, delete, or disable these cookies at any time through your browser or device settings.

What types of cookies are used on this site?

Strictly necessary cookies

These are essential for the operation of our site, allowing functions such as secure login or online payments. They may be session or persistent cookies.

Analytical or performance cookies

These allow us to count visitors and understand how they use our site, helping us improve usability and navigation. They may come from third-party analytics providers and may be session or persistent cookies.

Functionality cookies

These recognise you when you return to the site and remember your preferences (such as language or region). They may also enable embedded functions like displaying videos. These can be session or persistent cookies.

Social media or sharing cookies

Our site may include social media features such as Facebook, Twitter, or LinkedIn buttons. These may collect your IP address and page visits to enable sharing functions. We have no control over how social networks use this data; their use is subject to their own privacy policies.

Targeting or re-targeting cookies

These track your visits, pages viewed, and links clicked to make content and advertising more relevant. Information may also be shared with third parties for this purpose. These may be session or persistent cookies.

Details of specific cookies used and their purpose are listed in our Consent Portal.

What about third-party cookies?

Third parties, such as advertising networks and analytics services, may also use cookies that we cannot control. These are typically analytical or targeting cookies.

How to control and delete cookies

When you first visit our site, a cookie notice appears. By continuing to browse after accepting cookies, you consent to their use under this Cookies Policy.

Most browsers accept cookies by default, but you can change settings to block new cookies, disable existing ones, or receive alerts when a new cookie is set. To disable cookies, follow your browser’s instructions (found under Help, Tools, or Edit). You can also visit http://www.attacat.co.uk/resources/cookies/how-to-ban for further guidance.

Disabling or refusing cookies may affect the functionality of some website features. Note that disabling a cookie does not delete it—you must remove it manually in your browser settings.

Changes to our use of cookies

Any updates to our use of cookies will be published here or in our Consent Portal. Where appropriate, significant changes will be highlighted on our web pages.
