How we use cookies.

We group cookies by purpose. You can manage non-essential categories in the Cookie Settings panel.

Strictly necessary. Required for the site to work. Examples: page navigation, loading resources, security, forms, fraud prevention, cookie-consent storage. Always active because they are essential.

Performance and analytics. Help us understand how the site is used so we can improve it. Examples: page views, time on page, error logs, campaign attribution. Data is aggregated where possible. IPs may be truncated or anonymised when configured.

Functionality. Remember your preferences. Examples: language, region, saved form inputs, accessibility settings.

Advertising and social media. Show or measure ads, build audiences, or allow social sharing. May track you across sites. We only use these with your consent where required by law.

Email tracking pixels. If you opt in to emails, we may use pixels to measure opens and link clicks. You can disable images in your email client to limit this.

Session cookies delete when you close your browser.

Persistent cookies stay for a set time or until you delete them. We set reasonable lifetimes and review them periodically.

A. Cookie Settings panel. Click Cookie Settings on our site to review, accept, or reject categories. Your choices apply to the browser and device you use. If you clear cookies or use a different device or browser, you'll need to set preferences again.

B. Browser controls. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies under Privacy or Security settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may break site features.

C. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control. There is no consistent DNT standard, so we do not respond to DNT. Where required by law, we treat Global Privacy Control (GPC) as a request to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising. You can still adjust Cookie Settings for more granular control.

D. Advertising choices. You can opt out of interest-based advertising from many providers at network opt-out pages in your country (e.g. youradchoices.com or youronlinechoices.eu). This limits targeted ads but does not remove ads.

In the UK and EEA we obtain consent before placing or reading non-essential cookies. Our banner presents clear options: Accept all, Reject non-essential, and Manage settings. We record consent choices and the timestamp to demonstrate compliance. If you continue browsing after rejecting non-essential cookies, only strictly necessary cookies will be used.

Depending on your settings, cookies may collect: device and browser type, operating system, IP address, general location, pages viewed, buttons clicked, time spent, referring URLs, and campaign identifiers. We use aggregation and de-identification where possible, and retention periods that match the purpose.

We keep cookie data only as long as needed for each purpose. Persistent cookies have fixed lifetimes shown in the table. Analytics data is retained according to our analytics provider settings and our data retention policy.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Material changes will be posted on this page with a new effective date. If required by law, we will ask for consent again.
