Plain language. Cookies are small text files. They help websites remember settings, keep sessions secure, and—only with permission—measure traffic or advertising performance.
What are cookies and similar technologies
Cookies are placed on your device when you load a page. Similar technologies include pixels, tags, software development kits, and HTML5 local storage. Together we refer to them as “cookies” unless a distinction matters for your rights.
Session cookies expire when you close the browser. Persistent cookies remain until they expire or you delete them. The duration depends on the purpose and vendor configuration.
First-party and third-party cookies
First-party cookies are set by this domain and typically support core functionality or remembered preferences. Third-party cookies are set by partners we integrate—for example analytics or advertising networks when you have opted in. Third parties process data under their policies as well as our instructions where we act as controller.
Categories we use
Strictly necessary. Required for security, load balancing, fraud prevention, and remembering your cookie consent state. These are generally exempt from consent requirements under ePrivacy-style rules where that exemption applies.
Functional. Remember choices such as language or region where we offer those features.
Analytics. Help us understand aggregated traffic, navigation paths, and error rates. We deploy analytics cookies only if you accept the analytics category in our banner or settings.
Marketing. Measure campaign performance or personalise creative where applicable. Placed only with marketing consent when we use tools that rely on consent.
Retention periods
Consent and preference cookies may last up to twelve months so you are not prompted on every visit. Analytics and marketing cookies vary by vendor; common ranges are thirty days to twenty-four months. We configure durations conservatively where we control settings.
Your choices
Use the cookie banner or “Cookie settings” control to accept all, reject non-essential categories, or fine-tune analytics and marketing. You can reopen settings conceptually by clearing stored preferences in your browser and revisiting the site—exact UI placement may vary by page version.
Browser controls
Major browsers let you block or delete cookies. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may break login flows or security checks. Refer to your browser’s help documentation for step-by-step guidance.
Do Not Track
There is no consistent industry standard for DNT signals. We prioritise the choices you express through our cookie tool and browser settings over ambiguous global flags.
Updates
We may revise this Cookie Policy when we add tools or change vendors. The “Last updated” date reflects the current version. Significant changes may be highlighted on this page.
For personal data processing beyond cookies, see our Privacy Policy.
