Cookies Policy
This Cookies Policy explains the types of cookies and similar technologies we use, why we use them, and how you can manage your choices. Non-essential cookies are off by default until you give consent.

How we use cookies and your consent choices
We use strictly necessary cookies to operate the site securely. With your consent, we also use functional, analytics, and advertising cookies. Our banner records your choices and passes them to Google Ads Consent Mode so that ad and analytics tags stay disabled until you opt in. You can change or withdraw consent at any time using the “Cookie settings” control shown on every page.
Cookie categories we use
Strictly necessary
Required to deliver the website, maintain security, and remember your privacy choices (for example, your cookie consent). These run by default and cannot be turned off.
Functional
Helps us remember form inputs or settings so you do not need to re-enter details. Only enabled if you provide consent.
Performance & analytics
Measures how the site is used (e.g., pages visited, time on page) so we can improve performance. Examples include Google Analytics cookies. Disabled until you opt in.
Advertising
Supports personalised advertising and conversion measurement, including Google Ads remarketing. Disabled until you opt in through the banner.
Examples of cookies and retention
- Consent and preference cookies: remember whether you accepted, rejected, or customised cookies (typically 6–12 months).
- Analytics cookies (with consent): session identifiers and anonymised usage metrics that help us understand site performance (common lifetimes range from the browsing session to 24 months, depending on the provider).
- Advertising cookies (with consent): identifiers that support ad personalisation and conversion measurement for Google Ads or similar platforms (lifetimes vary by vendor; see provider policies for details).
Third-party providers may change their cookie names and lifetimes; we review our cookie inventory periodically and update this page when material changes occur.
Managing cookies
- Use the in-page “Cookie settings” control to update or withdraw consent at any time. Changes are applied immediately and sent to Google Ads Consent Mode.
- Adjust your browser settings to block or delete cookies. This may affect site functionality.
- For Google Analytics, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on if you prefer an additional control.
Third-party cookies
Where we embed content or use services from third parties, those providers may set cookies in line with their own policies. We only load analytics and advertising tags after you provide consent. You can review vendor practices in their respective privacy notices.
Changes to this Cookies Policy
We will update this page if we make material changes to the cookies we use or how we use them. The “Last updated” date reflects when this policy was most recently revised.
