What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website saves on your device when you visit. They are widely used to make websites work correctly and to provide basic analytics that help site owners understand how their pages are used. Cookies do not run programmes or carry viruses — they are simply pieces of text that your browser stores and sends back to the site on your next visit.
Cookies We Use

Marketing cookies — optional. Used to understand the effectiveness of any advertising we may run. May be set by third-party advertising networks if we use them.
Preference cookies — optional. Remember settings you have chosen, such as language or region preferences, so you do not need to re-select them on each visit.
Third-Party Cookies
- Google Analytics — measures website traffic in aggregate. Data is anonymised before transmission. See Google's Privacy Policy.
- Advertising networks — only relevant if we run paid advertisements. These networks may set cookies to avoid showing the same ad repeatedly.
We do not control the cookies set by third-party services. Their policies govern how those cookies are handled.
Cookie Duration
- Session cookies — deleted automatically when you close your browser. Used for essential site functions during a visit.
