Cookie Policy

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your computer, smartphone or other device when you visit them.

They can serve different purposes. Some help a website function properly, while others remember preferences or provide information about how visitors use a website.

Cookies may be temporary, meaning they are deleted when you close your browser, or persistent, meaning they remain on your device for a specified period.

Some cookies are set directly by the website you are visiting. Others may be associated with third-party services used by that website.

How we use cookies

Our website uses two main categories of cookies.

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are essential for the operation, security and functionality of our website.

They help protect the website and enable certain features to work correctly. They may also be used to remember your cookie preferences.

Strictly necessary cookies do not require your consent because they are needed to provide the website or a service you have requested.

Analytics cookies

With your permission, we use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use our website.

This helps us identify which pages people visit, how they navigate around the website and where improvements may be helpful.

For example, we may use this information to understand whether visitors can find the information they need or whether particular pages could be made clearer or easier to use.

Google Analytics may collect information such as:

• The pages you visit and how you move between them

• How long you spend on different pages

• How you arrived at our website

• General information about your device, browser and approximate location

• Interactions with website content

Google Analytics uses cookies to help distinguish visitors and recognise website sessions.

Information collected through Google Analytics is processed by Google on our behalf. You can read more about how Google handles information in its Privacy Policy.

We only activate Google Analytics after you have accepted performance or analytics cookies through our cookie banner.

If you decline these cookies, Google Analytics will not be activated.

When you first visit our website, you will be presented with a cookie banner.

You can choose to:

• Accept optional cookies, allowing us to use Google Analytics

• Decline optional cookies, allowing only strictly necessary cookies

• Manage Preferences to review and choose which categories of cookies you wish to allow

Your choice will not affect your ability to access the information on our website.

If you withdraw consent for analytics cookies, we will stop Google Analytics from collecting further information about your visits through our website. Analytics cookies set by our website will also be removed.

Managing cookies through your browser

Most web browsers also allow you to view, block or delete cookies through their settings.

You can usually find these controls in your browser's privacy or security settings.

Please be aware that blocking all cookies, including strictly necessary cookies, may affect how some parts of our website work.

Third-party websites and services

Our website may contain links to other websites, including external resources and organisations.

When you follow a link to another website, that website may use its own cookies and have its own privacy practices.

We do not control the cookies used by external websites. We recommend reviewing their cookie and privacy policies when visiting them.

Where this is the case, we handle that information in accordance with applicable data protection legislation, including the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.
