What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device when you visit. They help the website remember information about your visit — such as your language preference or consent choices — so things work more smoothly the next time you return.
Cookies do not contain personal data on their own, though some may be linked to information you provide. They are widely used across the web to make sites function properly and to give site owners a basic understanding of how visitors navigate their pages.
You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. However, doing so may affect how parts of this website work for you.
Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
Always Active
These cookies are required for the website to work at a basic level. They cannot be switched off. They are typically set in response to actions you take — such as setting cookie preferences or using contact forms.
Examples: session state, cookie consent record
Analytics Cookies
Optional
These help us understand how visitors interact with our website. The information gathered is aggregated and does not identify individual visitors. It helps us improve the pages and content we offer.
Examples: Google Analytics (page views, session length, navigation paths)
Marketing Cookies
Optional
These cookies are placed by advertising networks to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other sites. They do not store personal information directly but rely on uniquely identifying your browser.
Examples: Meta Pixel, Google Ads conversion tracking
Preference Cookies
Optional
These cookies allow the website to remember choices you have made — such as your language or region — to provide a more personalised experience on future visits.
Examples: language preference, display settings

Temporary cookies that exist only while your browser is open. They are removed when you close the browser and are used to maintain basic site functionality during your visit.
Persistent Cookies
These remain on your device for a set period — typically between 30 days and 2 years depending on their purpose. They are used for things like remembering consent choices.
