Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small data files that may be stored on your computer, phone or other device when you visit a website.

They can help websites operate correctly, remember settings, maintain sessions, improve security and, where permitted, understand how visitors use a website.

2. Similar Technologies

Websites may also use related technologies such as local storage, pixels, tags or similar technical tools. References to cookies in this policy may include these technologies where appropriate.

These technologies are required for essential website functionality or for a service specifically requested by the user.

They may support functions such as security, navigation, form operation, session management and other essential technical features.

Preference cookies may remember choices you make, such as language, display settings or other website preferences.

Analytics technologies may be used to understand how visitors interact with the website, which pages are used most often and how website performance can be improved.

Where consent is legally required, these technologies will only be activated after the relevant permission has been obtained.

Marketing technologies may be used to measure advertising campaigns, understand marketing effectiveness or provide more relevant advertising.

They are treated as optional and will not be activated before consent where consent is required by applicable law.

7. Session and Persistent Cookies

Cookies may also be classified according to how long they remain on your device.

• Session cookies generally expire when the browser session ends.
• Persistent cookies remain for a defined period or until removed.

8. Third-Party Services

Certain functions may be provided by third-party services, such as analytics, maps, embedded content, social-media features or other technology providers.

These providers may use their own cookies or similar technologies in accordance with their own privacy and cookie policies.

9. Your Cookie Choices

Where optional cookies are used, visitors will be provided with a mechanism to make appropriate choices before those optional technologies are enabled when legally required.

You may also control or remove cookies through your browser settings. Blocking certain technologies may affect some website functionality.

10. Changing or Withdrawing Consent

Where processing relies on cookie consent, you may change or withdraw your preferences through the available cookie settings mechanism.

Withdrawal of consent will not affect processing that was lawful before withdrawal.

11. Updates to This Policy

This Cookie Policy may be updated when technologies, providers, website features or applicable requirements change.

The current version will always be published on this page.
