Types of Cookies We Use
We use the following categories of cookies:
Essential Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They are usually set in response to actions you take such as submitting a form or setting your privacy preferences. They do not store any personally identifiable information.
Session management: maintains your session state while navigating between pages.
Security tokens: protects form submissions against cross-site request forgery (CSRF).
Cookie consent: stores your cookie preferences so you are not asked again on subsequent visits.
Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting information anonymously. We use this data to improve the site's content and performance. Analytics cookies are only set with your explicit consent.
Page views & navigation: tracks which pages are visited, in what order, and for how long.
Traffic source: helps us understand where visitors come from (e.g. search engines, social media, direct).
Device & browser type: used in aggregate to ensure compatibility across different devices.
Functional Cookies
These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalisation. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you disable these cookies, some features may not work correctly.
Embedded media: enables third-party embeds (e.g. video players) to function and remember playback preferences.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences
When you first visit our website, a cookie consent banner will appear allowing you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can update your preferences at any time.
You can also control and delete cookies directly through your browser settings:
Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data.
Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data.

Do Not Track
Some browsers have a “Do Not Track” (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your browsing activity tracked. There is currently no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. At this time our website does not respond differently to DNT signals, but we remain committed to only setting non-essential cookies with your consent.
