3. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website.
They are widely used to enable websites to function efficiently, enhance user experience, provide analytics, and support marketing activities.
We may also use similar technologies such as pixels, tags, or scripts for comparable purposes.
4. Categories of cookies we use
Our website uses the following categories of cookies:
A. Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the operation of the website and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions such as submitting forms, setting privacy preferences, or maintaining secure areas of the site.
Lawful basis: Legitimate interests / technical necessity
Consent required: No
B. Performance & Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors use the website (for example, which pages are visited most or how users move around the site). Information collected is used in aggregated form to improve website performance and usability.
Lawful basis: Consent
Consent required: Yes
C. Functional Cookies
These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (such as language or region) to provide enhanced functionality and personalisation.
Lawful basis: Consent (where required)

5. Cookie consent and control
When you first visit our website, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner that allows you to:
accept all cookies
reject non-essential cookies
manage cookie preferences by category
Non-essential cookies (including analytics and marketing cookies) are not placed unless and until you give consent, where required by law.
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by:
using the Cookie Settings link available on our website (where provided), or
adjusting your browser settings
Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
6. Browser controls
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings.
Please note that blocking all cookies (including strictly necessary cookies) may impact the functionality of the website.
Browser controls are not a substitute for our cookie consent mechanism, but provide an additional level of user control.
7. Third-party cookies and dynamic disclosure
We may use trusted third-party services to support website functionality, analytics, or marketing. These providers may set cookies or similar technologies on our behalf.
Because the specific cookies in use may change depending on website configuration and third-party services, we do not maintain a fixed static list of cookies in this Policy.
Instead, details of the cookies in use at any given time — including their names, purposes and durations — can be viewed via our cookie consent tool when you visit the website.
This approach ensures transparency while avoiding inaccuracies caused by changing technologies.
8. International data transfers
Some cookies or related data may involve processing or access outside the European Economic Area, for example where third-party service providers operate globally.
Where this occurs, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as:
EU Standard Contractual Clauses
transfer impact assessments where required
additional technical and organisational measures
9. Cookie duration
Cookies may be:
session cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, or
persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a defined period or until deleted
Cookie duration depends on the purpose of the cookie and your consent choices.
We review cookie usage periodically.
10. Changes to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in law, technology, or how our website operates.
The most current version will always be available on our website, with the effective date clearly stated.
