What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places in your browser when you visit. They allow the website to recognise your browser on subsequent visits and remember certain information — such as your preferences or whether you have already seen a notice.
Cookies do not contain viruses and cannot access other files on your device. Most websites use them in some form; they are a standard part of how the internet works.
Cookies We Use
We keep our use of cookies minimal and purposeful. The categories below describe what we may use:
Essential Cookies Always active
Necessary for the website to function. Includes your cookie consent preference stored in localStorage. These cannot be disabled.
Duration: Session or up to 12 months
Analytics Cookies Optional
Help us understand how visitors use the website — pages viewed, time spent, and so on — so we can improve the experience. Data is aggregated and not linked to your personal identity.
Examples: Google Analytics | Duration: Up to 14 months
Marketing Cookies Optional
Used for advertising personalisation where applicable. These may be set by third-party advertising networks. We use these sparingly, if at all.
Duration: Varies by provider
Preference Cookies Optional
Remember choices you have made, such as language or region settings, so you do not need to re-enter them on your next visit.
