Cookie Notice
What are cookies
Cookies are small text files
that are stored on your device (such as your computer, tablet or mobile phone)
when you visit a website. They help the website remember your actions and
preferences, making your next visit easier and the site more useful to you.
Cookies can serve different purposes. Some are essential for a website to
function properly known as strictly necessary cookies. Others help us measure
and improve the performance of our website, such as Google Analytics cookies.
Cookies do not usually identify you directly, but they may collect information
such as your browser type, device, IP address, or pages visited.
How we collect cookies
When you visit our website,
cookies are automatically placed on your device by your browser. We only use
two types of cookies on our websites:
1. Strictly necessary cookies: These are essential for the proper operation of
our website and cannot be turned off. They support core features such as page
navigation, form submission, and access to secure areas.
2. Google Analytics cookies: These help us understand how visitors use our site
(for example, which pages are most visited and how users navigate between
them). All data collected is anonymised and used only
for performance and improvement purposes. Google may also process this
information on its servers outside the UK or EEA in accordance with its own
Privacy Policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy).
We do not use any cookies for advertising, profiling, or social media tracking.
Legal basis for using cookies
Under the UK GDPR and the
Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), we rely on your
consent to use non-essential cookies such as Google Analytics. Strictly
necessary cookies are used without consent because they are essential to
provide the service you have requested (for example, to display the website
correctly).
When you first visit our site, you will see a cookie banner where you can
accept or decline analytics cookies. You can change your preferences at any
time through your browser settings.
