Cookie Policy

01

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to site owners.

There are different types of cookies:

• Session cookies – temporary cookies that are deleted when you close your browser.
• Persistent cookies – cookies that remain on your device for a set period of time, even after you close your browser.
• Essential cookies – cookies that are strictly necessary for the website to function. These do not require your consent.
• Analytics or performance cookies – cookies that help us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it. These require your consent under UK PECR regulations.

This website uses local storage (a technology similar to cookies) rather than traditional browser cookies for storing your consent preference.

02

What cookies we use

We have designed this website to use as few cookies and tracking technologies as possible. We do not use:

• Advertising or retargeting cookies
• Social media tracking pixels (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.)
• Cross-site tracking of any kind
• Third-party analytics platforms by default (e.g. Google Analytics)

The only storage we use is a single entry in your browser's local storage to remember whether you have accepted or declined optional analytics cookies. This is described in full in the cookie list below.

03

Cookie list

The following table lists every cookie and local storage entry currently set by this website:

If we introduce analytics or other optional cookies in future, they will be added to this table and you will be asked to consent before they are set.

04

Your choices

When you visit this website for the first time, a small banner appears at the bottom of the screen giving you two options:

• Allow analytics – you consent to optional analytics being used in future to help us understand how the site is used. No personally identifiable information is collected.
• Keep analytics off – no optional analytics will be set. The essential consent preference entry is still stored so the banner does not appear on every visit.

You can change your preference at any time by clearing your browser's local storage (see the section below). The banner will then reappear on your next visit and you can make a new choice.

Refusing optional analytics has absolutely no effect on your ability to use or browse this website.

05

Managing cookies in your browser

You can control and delete cookies directly through your browser settings. Here is how to do it in the most common browsers:

• Google Chrome – Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data
• Apple Safari – Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
• Mozilla Firefox – Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
• Microsoft Edge – Settings → Cookies and Site Permissions → Cookies and Site Data

Please note that blocking or deleting cookies may affect the functionality of some websites. On this site, clearing local storage will reset your cookie consent preference and the banner will reappear on your next visit.

For more information about cookies and how to manage them, visit allaboutcookies.org or the ICO's guide to cookies.

06

Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, for example if we introduce new features or change the technologies we use. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated date at the top.

If we introduce any new cookies that require your consent, we will show you the cookie banner again so you can make a fresh choice before anything is set.
