What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device — such as your computer, smartphone, or tablet — when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to website owners about how their site is being used.

Cookies can be 'session cookies', which are deleted when you close your browser, or 'persistent cookies', which remain on your device for a set period of time or until you delete them.

How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for the following purposes:

‍

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are essential for our website to function correctly. They enable core features such as page navigation and access to secure areas of the site. Our website cannot function properly without these cookies, and they cannot be disabled. They do not store any personally identifiable information.

‍

Analytics and performance cookies

We use Google Analytics to collect anonymised information about how visitors use our website, including which pages are visited most often, how long visitors spend on each page, and how visitors navigate between pages. This information helps us understand and improve the performance and content of our site.

Google Analytics uses cookies to collect this data. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity for us. Google does not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google.

You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking at any time by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Security cookies

We use Cloudflare Turnstile on our contact forms to protect against spam and automated bot submissions. Cloudflare may set a cookie as part of this service to distinguish legitimate human visitors from automated traffic. This service is designed to be privacy-preserving and does not track your activity across other websites. More information is available in Cloudflare's privacy policy at www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy.

Preference cookies

These cookies allow our website to remember choices you have made, such as your cookie consent preferences, to provide a more personalised experience on future visits.

‍

Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on our website are set by third-party services that appear on our pages. These include Google Analytics and Cloudflare, as described above. We do not control the setting of these cookies and we recommend that you refer to the relevant third party's privacy and cookie policies for information about their cookies and how to manage them.
