Cookie Policy

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to website owners about how their site is being used.

Cookies can be "first-party" (set by the website you're visiting) or "third-party" (set by other websites whose services are used on the page you're visiting). They can also be session cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or persistent cookies (stored on your device for a set period).

We use cookies to enhance your browsing experience, analyse website traffic, personalise content, and for marketing purposes including remarketing campaigns.

Types of Cookies We Use

Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to function properly. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and accessibility. You cannot opt-out of necessary cookies.

Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. We use this data to improve our website's performance and user experience.

Functional Cookies

These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your language preference or cookie consent choices) and provide enhanced, more personal features.

Marketing Cookies

These cookies are used to track visitors across websites with the intention of displaying ads that are relevant and engaging. They are used for remarketing campaigns, measuring advertising effectiveness, and delivering personalised advertisements.

Specific Cookies We Use

The following table provides details about the specific cookies used on our website:

Third-Party Cookies

Our website uses services from third-party providers that may set their own cookies. These include:

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to analyse how visitors use our website. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information about website usage, which helps us improve our site. The information collected is anonymous and includes data such as the number of visitors, where they came from, and which pages they visited.

Google Ads

We use Google Ads for advertising and remarketing campaigns. These cookies help us measure the effectiveness of our advertising, show relevant ads to people who have visited our website, and track conversions from our marketing campaigns.

Google Fonts

Our website uses Google Fonts to display text consistently across different browsers and devices. Google may collect usage data when fonts are loaded, though this is primarily for service improvement purposes.

For more information about how Google uses data, please visit Google's Privacy Policy.

Google Consent Mode v2

Our website implements Google Consent Mode v2, which allows us to adjust how Google Analytics and Google Ads behave based on your consent choices. When you decline certain cookie categories:

• Google Analytics will not use cookies for measurement but may still collect aggregated, anonymised data
• Google Ads will not use cookies for advertising personalisation or remarketing
• Conversion measurement will be limited to privacy-safe methods
• Your privacy preferences are respected whilst still allowing basic functionality

This ensures that our marketing tools work within the boundaries of your consent choices whilst maintaining your privacy.
