What Are Cookies?
Cookies are compact data files placed on your device when you access a website. These files allow the site to recall who you are across visits and actions — such as saved settings, interface behaviour, or browsing history. This makes future interactions more intuitive and tailored.
We may also use similar technologies — like tracking pixels or application-based identifiers — especially in mobile environments. In this document, we refer to all of these tools collectively as “cookies.”
Why We Use Cookies
Cookies serve a variety of purposes:
- To recognise returning visitors and reduce repetition of setup steps
- To help you move smoothly through the site
- To remember your preferences or selections
- To support basic functionality and security
- To analyse how users interact with content and improve overall site design
- To deliver more relevant advertising messages, if permitted
By distinguishing between types of visits, cookies help us optimise performance and deliver more accurate and useful content.
Types of Cookies We Use
We may use the following general categories of cookies:
- Essential Cookies: Required for the site to function securely and correctly. These cannot be disabled.
- Performance Cookies: Used to analyse visitor activity and measure site performance.
- Functional Cookies: Help remember your choices and personalise your experience.
- Advertising Cookies: Allow for more relevant and interest-based content, including promotional offers. These only activate if you consent.
Some cookies are set by us directly, while others may be placed by trusted partners whose tools are integrated into our site.
Managing Your Preferences
Most browsers allow you to review and modify your cookie settings. You can block specific categories or remove stored data entirely using your browser’s privacy tools. If you’re using a mobile device, settings to limit tracking may also be found within your system preferences.
Please note that disabling certain cookies — especially those that are essential — may affect the way the site functions or restrict access to some services.
Use of Adblockers
Certain features may be limited if you use adblocking tools. In some cases, adblockers may prevent you from accessing cookie preference settings altogether. For full control and access, consider adjusting your blocker’s configuration.

We may revise this cookie policy from time to time to reflect changes in our use of cookies or improvements to the site. You’re encouraged to check this page regularly to stay informed.
