Cookie policy

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site function, remember preferences, understand usage patterns, and support performance and security.

Not every cookie does the same job, and some are essential while others are optional.

We may use cookies or similar technologies to support core site operation, measure basic website usage, improve page performance, and understand which content is being used.

Where non-essential cookies are introduced, they should be managed in a way that gives users a clear choice.

Essential cookies help the website function correctly and cannot usually be switched off without affecting basic site behaviour.

Analytics or performance cookies help us understand how people use the site so we can improve it. Preference cookies remember settings or choices that make the experience more consistent.

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block specific cookies, clear stored data, or alert you when cookies are being set.

Please note that blocking essential cookies may affect how parts of the site work.

If third-party tools are added to the site, they may set their own cookies in line with their own policies. That can include analytics, embedded services, or hosted media.

Where those tools are used, we aim to keep them proportionate to the value they add.

This policy may be updated if the way the site uses cookies changes or if additional tools are introduced.

The latest version will always be published on this page.
