Where consent is required under UK law, we will ask for your consent before setting non-essential cookies, as described in this policy.

2. What are cookies?

3. Types of cookies we use

3.1 Essential cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly, enabling core functionality such as security and navigation. You cannot opt out of these cookies, as the website cannot function properly without them.

We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with our website. These cookies help us:

Count the number of visitors to our website
See how visitors navigate through the site
Identify which pages are most popular
Improve website performance and content

We use Google Analytics, which collects information about your visit, including pages viewed, time spent on the site, and referring website. This information is used in aggregate and is not used to identify you personally.

3.3 Functional cookies

These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make, such as language preferences, to provide a more personalised experience.

4. Third-party cookies

Our website uses third-party services that may set their own cookies on your device, including:
