1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember your preferences and browsing behaviour so that your next visit can be improved.
2. Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies: Required for core site functions such as form submission and security. These cannot be disabled.
Analytics Cookies: Tools like Google Analytics collect anonymised data on visitor numbers, pages viewed, and time spent. This helps us improve the site.
Preference Cookies: Remember your settings such as language or theme so you do not have to re-select them each visit.
Marketing Cookies: Used for targeted advertising and customer tracking, only when you have given consent.
3. Cookie Retention
Cookie lifespan varies by type. Session cookies are deleted automatically when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device until they expire or you delete them manually.
4. Third-Party Cookies
We use third-party services such as Google Analytics and Google Ads, which may set their own cookies to track behaviour across sites. Please review the privacy policies of those services for full details.
