Cookie Policy

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the site owners.

​

Cookies can be:

​

• Session cookies: which are deleted when you close your browser.

• Persistent cookies: which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them.

​

Cookies may also be:

​

• First-party cookies: set by the website you are visiting.

• Third-party cookies: set by other organisations, for example analytics or advertising providers.

​

2. Legal basis and consent

In the UK, the use of cookies is governed by the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (“PECR”), alongside UK GDPR. We must:

• Tell you clearly and comprehensively about the cookies we use and why.

• Obtain your consent before using any cookies that are not “strictly necessary” for the operation of our website.

​

Strictly necessary cookies do not require your consent, but we still explain them in this policy. For all other (non-essential) cookies – such as analytics or advertising cookies – we will ask for your consent via our cookie banner or preferences tool.

​

You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by adjusting your cookie preferences or your browser settings.

​

3. Types of cookies we use

​

We may use the following categories of cookies on our website:

​

• Strictly necessary cookies

   These cookies are essential to enable you to move around the website and use core features (for example, page navigation or access to secure areas). The website cannot function properly without these cookies, and they are usually only set in response to actions you take, such as filling in forms or setting privacy preferences.

• Performance / analytics cookies

   These cookies help us understand how visitors use our website, for example which pages are visited most often and if any error messages are received. We use this information to improve how our website works and to enhance user experience. These cookies are non-essential and only set with your consent.

• Functionality cookies

   These cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your preferred language or region) and provide enhanced, more personalised features. They may also be used to provide services you have asked for, such as remembering details you enter into forms so you do not have to re-enter them. These cookies are non-essential and require your consent.

• Targeting or advertising cookies (if used)

   These cookies may be set through our site by advertising partners to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites. They work by uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. We will only use such cookies if you have given your consent, and you can withdraw this at any time.

​

If we do not use certain cookie types (for example, advertising cookies), we will state this clearly on our cookie banner and in any detailed cookie table.

​

4. Cookies we may use

​

The specific cookies in use on our website may change from time to time as we update or improve our services. Typical examples include:

​

• Strictly necessary cookies used to remember your cookie preferences and enable secure browsing.

• Analytics cookies (for example, from tools like Google Analytics or similar services) to collect aggregated, anonymised statistics about how visitors use our site.

​

Where we use third-party cookies, we will identify those third parties and explain what they do with the information collected. You can find further details about these cookies and their lifespans in our cookie banner or settings panel, which may provide a detailed list of cookies in use.

​

5. Managing and disabling cookies

You can accept or reject non-essential cookies using our on-site cookie banner or preferences tool. In addition, most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings, including blocking or deleting cookies.

​

How you do this will depend on your browser; typically you can find these settings in the “Options”, “Settings” or “Privacy” section. Please note:

​

• If you block all cookies (including strictly necessary cookies), some parts of our website may not function properly.

• Deleting cookies may remove your saved preferences and require you to re-enter certain information or reset your choices.

​

For more information about cookies and how to manage them, you can visit independent resources such as the ICO’s guidance on cookies.

​

6. Cookies and personal data

Some cookies collect information that can be associated with you as an identifiable individual, especially when combined with other data we hold (for example, if you send us an enquiry and we also use analytics). Where cookies involve personal data, we will process that data in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable data protection laws, including UK GDPR.

​

You can read more about how we handle your personal data, your rights and how to contact us in our Privacy Policy.

​

7. Changes to this Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, for example to reflect changes to the cookies we use, legal requirements or our services. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last updated” date, and where appropriate we may highlight significant changes when you next visit the site.

​

Please check this page regularly to keep informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
