What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, improve efficiency, and provide information to website owners. Cookies can be “session” cookies (which are deleted when you close your browser) or “persistent” cookies (which remain on your device for a specified period or until you delete them).

  • Performance and analytics cookies
    These cookies help us understand how visitors use our website, for example which pages are visited most often, so that we can improve our content and services. The information collected is usually aggregated, but may include identifiers that are treated as personal data under applicable law.
  • Functional cookies
    These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (such as language preferences) and provide enhanced, more personal features.
  • Advertising and social media cookies
    These cookies may be set through our site by advertising partners or social media platforms. They may be used to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant ads on other sites, or to enable you to share our content on social networks.

Essential cookies are used on the basis of our legitimate interest in providing a secure and functional website.

Managing cookies

You can manage your cookie preferences in the following ways:

  • Via our cookie banner or “Cookie settings” link (if implemented on your site), where you can accept, reject, or customise non‑essential cookies.
  • By changing your browser settings to block or delete cookies. Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent. If you block all cookies, some parts of our website may not function properly.

For more information on how to manage cookies in popular browsers, visit the help pages of Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge or other browser providers.

If you are in a region that recognises “Do Not Track” or Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals, we will treat such signals as a request to opt out of non‑essential cookies where technically and legally required.

Third‑party cookies

Some cookies on our website may be set by third parties, such as analytics providers, advertising networks, or embedded content platforms (for example, video players or social media widgets). These third parties may use the information collected through their cookies for their own purposes, which are described in their respective privacy or cookie policies. You should review those policies for more details.

Retention

The duration of each cookie (how long it remains on your device) is specified in the cookie itself and in the examples listed above. Persistent cookies remain until they expire or you delete them, while session cookies are removed when you close your browser.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, for example to reflect changes in the cookies we use or in legal requirements. Any updates will be posted on this page with an updated “last updated” date. Your continued use of the website after such changes will mean that you accept the revised policy.
