Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar technologies on our website, what types of cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can control them.

Where cookies collect or relate to personal information, our Privacy Policy also applies.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, phone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They help websites work properly and remember information about your visit, such as your preferences, settings, and how you use the site.

We use the term “cookies” in this policy to cover similar technologies such as web beacons, pixels, and local storage.

Who places the cookies?

  • First‑party cookies:Set by us, on our domain.
  • Third‑party cookies:Set by other organisations (for example, analytics or advertising providers) when you visit our site. These parties collect data directly from your browser and process it under their own privacy policies.

Types of cookies by lifespan

  • Session cookies:
    These last only for the duration of your browser session. They link your actions while you navigate the site (for example, remembering what you clicked on the previous page). They are deleted automatically when you close your browser.
  • Persistent cookies:
    These are stored on your device between sessions until they reach an expiration date set by the cookie provider or you delete them. They allow us (or third parties) to remember your preferences or actions across visits.

Categories of cookies we use

We group our cookies into four categories:

  1. Essential (strictly necessary) cookies

These cookies are required for our website to function correctly. They enable core features such as:

  • Maintaining your session while you navigate the site
  • Supporting security and authentication
  • Remembering items in a shopping cart or form progress (where applicable)

These cookies do not require your consent under applicable law. If you do not wish to accept essential cookies, you must stop using our website.

  1. Performance (analytics) cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors use our website, for example:

  • Which pages are visited and how often
  • How long visitors spend on the site
  • Whether visitors encounter errors or issues

This information is used in aggregate to improve the performance and usability of our website. Performance cookies are non‑essential and require your consent.

  1. Functionality (preference) cookies

These cookies allow our website to remember choices you make, such as:

  • Your language or region
  • Your username or display preferences
  • Whether you have visited the site before

They provide a more personalised experience but are not strictly necessary for the site to work. Functionality cookies are non‑essential and require your consent.

  1. Targeting / advertising cookies

These cookies are used to:

  • Show you content and advertisements that are more relevant to your interests
  • Limit the number of times you see the same advertisement
  • Measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns

They may be set by us or by third‑party advertising networks. Targeting/advertising cookies are non‑essential and require your consent.

How we obtain and manage your consent

We always ask for your consent before placing any non‑essential cookies on your device.

  • When you first visit our website, you will see a cookie banner or preference centre.
  • You can choose which categories of non‑essential cookies to accept (for example, performance, functionality, and/or targeting).
  • You can change your choices at any time by clicking the cookie icon at the bottom of our homepage to reopen the cookie preference options.

Cookie preferences are stored per device and browser. If you use multiple devices or browsers, you will need to set your preferences on each one.
