What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, improve performance, and provide information to the site owner. Some are essential; others are optional and used for analytics or personalisation.
Similar technologies — such as web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage — work in comparable ways and are also covered by this policy. We refer to all of these collectively as "cookies".

Freely given
Refusing non-essential cookies doesn't prevent you using our core services

Clear opt-in mechanism — no pre-ticked boxes or dark patterns

Do Not Track
Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature. There is currently no universal standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. We honour DNT signals by not setting analytics or marketing cookies when we detect a DNT header — even where you have previously consented.
Changes
We review and update this Cookie Policy regularly. Material changes — such as adding new cookie categories — will be communicated via our consent banner and by posting an updated policy with a new "Last Updated" date.
