Cookie Policy
Last Updated: 14 April 2025
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which cookies this Website uses, and how you may manage your preferences. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website when you visit it. They allow the site to recognise your browser on return visits and to remember certain information about your session or preferences.
Cookies are not executable programs. They cannot access files on your device beyond the information they themselves contain. They expire according to their individual settings — some when you close your browser, others at a fixed future date.
2. Cookie Types We Use
Essential Cookies
