Cookie Policy

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember your preferences, keep you logged in, and understand how you use the service. Some cookies are essential for the site to work; others help us improve it.

Types of Cookies We Use

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are required for the website to function. They enable core features such as authentication, security, and session management. You cannot opt out of these, as the site would not work properly without them.

• Session cookies: Keep you logged in and maintain your session
• Security cookies: Help protect against fraud and unauthorised access
• Load balancing: Distribute traffic so the site remains stable

Functional cookies

These cookies remember your preferences and choices (e.g. language, theme) to give you a better experience. They are not essential but improve how the site works for you.

Analytics cookies

If we use analytics cookies, they help us understand how visitors use our site (e.g. which pages are viewed, how long people stay). This information is aggregated and anonymised. We only use analytics cookies with your consent.

Cookie Duration

Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain for a set period (e.g. up to 12 months for preferences) or until you delete them. We only keep cookies for as long as needed for their purpose.

Your Choices

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect how the site works.

If we use optional cookies (e.g. analytics), we will ask for your consent before placing them. You can change your preferences at any time through our cookie settings or your browser.

Changes to this Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by updating the effective date on this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
