Cookie Policy

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide reporting information to site owners.

Cookies set by the website operator are called first-party cookies. Cookies set by parties other than the website operator are called third-party cookies, and they enable third-party features or functionality (such as analytics, advertising, and interactive content).

How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our website to operate, while others enable us to track and target the interests of our visitors to enhance the experience on our site.

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential to provide you with services available through our website and to enable you to use certain features. Without them, services such as secure login or session management cannot be provided.

Performance & Analytics Cookies

These cookies collect information about how visitors interact with our website — for example, which pages are visited most often and whether users encounter errors. The information is aggregated and anonymous.

Functionality Cookies

These cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your preferred language or region) and provide enhanced, more personal features.

Marketing Cookies

These cookies are used to deliver relevant content and measure the effectiveness of our communications. We do not use marketing cookies for behavioural advertising on third-party platforms.

Cookies We Use

The table below summarises the categories of cookies that may be set when you visit our website. Specific cookies may change as we improve our services.

Third-Party Cookies

In some cases we use cookies provided by trusted third parties — for example, analytics services that help us understand how our website is used. These providers may set their own cookies, and we recommend reviewing their privacy and cookie policies for details on how they handle data.

• Analytics providers — for performance measurement and reliability monitoring.
• Embedded content providers — for example, video or social media embeds when present.
• Security providers — for bot mitigation and fraud prevention on contact forms.

Your Choices & How to Control Cookies

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your preferences in the following ways:

• Cookie banner — when you first visit our site, you can accept or refuse non-essential cookies through the consent prompt.
• Browser settings — most browsers let you refuse, delete, or be alerted to cookies. Visit your browser's help section for instructions.
• Withdraw consent — you can clear cookies stored by our domain at any time to reset your preferences.

Please note that disabling strictly necessary cookies may impact the functionality of our website, including access to secure areas and form submissions.

Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers transmit "Do Not Track" (DNT) signals. Because there is no industry-wide standard for interpreting DNT signals, our website does not currently respond to them. We do, however, honour the cookie consent preferences you set through our banner.

Data Protection & Your Rights

Where cookies process personal data, we do so in accordance with the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. For more information about how we handle personal data, please refer to our Privacy Policy.

You have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, and object to the processing of your personal data. You may also lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.

Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, operational practices, or relevant laws. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates when it was last revised. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about our use of cookies.
