Cookie Policy
What cookies we use, why we use them, and how to control them.
1. What are cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They allow a site to remember your preferences, keep essential functions working, and — where you consent — understand how visitors use the site.
2. How we use cookies
We use three categories of cookie: essential (always on, required for the Site to function), analytics (optional, help us understand traffic), and functional (optional, remember preferences such as your cookie choice). Your choice is stored locally in your browser and can be changed at any time by clearing your browser's site data.
