What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit our website. They help us provide you with a better user experience by remembering your preferences, analysing how you use our site, and enabling certain functionality. Cookies do not typically contain any information that personally identifies you, but personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies.

Why We Use Cookies

We use cookies for several important purposes:

  • To ensure our website functions properly and securely
  • To remember your preferences and settings
  • To analyse website traffic and user behaviour to improve our services
  • To provide personalised content and advertisements
  • To measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns
  • To comply with legal requirements regarding consent and data protection

Types of Cookies We Use

Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to function properly. They enable basic functionality such as page navigation, access to secure areas, and form submissions. The website cannot function properly without these cookies, and they are set by default when you visit our site.

We use analytics cookies, primarily Google Analytics, to collect information about how visitors use our website. This helps us understand which pages are popular, how long visitors spend on our site, and where they come from. This information is used to improve our website and services.

Functional Cookies

These cookies allow us to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, more personalised features. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we use on our pages. They help us remember your language preferences, region settings, and other customisations.

Marketing Cookies
