Cookie Policy
August 2025
A cookie is a small text file that is downloaded onto ‘terminal equipment’ (e.g., a computer or smartphone) when you access a website. It allows the website to recognise that user’s device and store some information about the user’s preferences or past actions. Most browsers support Cookies, but you can set your preferences to decline them and delete them whenever you like. Cookies allow our site to remember your preferences and play an important role in making the site work better for you. To some extent, cookies can be seen as providing a “memory” for the website, enabling it to recognise a user and respond appropriately.
We use Cookies to manage functionality on our website and to provide usage insights to help us improve our service for our users. Where a cookie is not strictly necessary, we give you the opportunity to opt-out of its usage. We do not use cookies to track your behaviour once you have left our website, and the data from cookies will not be passed on to or used by any commercial enterprise that are not operating under our instruction and only process data as laid out in this policy.
How do we use cookies?
A visit to our website may generate “first-party” cookies and “third-party” cookies. Third-party cookies are only generated with your agreement. We use third-party cookies to provide enhanced site functionality such as embedded video content.
We use the following cookies and similar technologies:
- Strictly necessary cookies. These cookies are essential for the operation of our website and online tools or services. They include, for example, cookies that enable you to log into private areas of our website.
- Performance/Statistics cookies. These cookies allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our website when they are using it. We have configured our analytics solution to preserve our visitor’s privacy, such as for example – anonymising IP addresses. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. This helps us to improve the way our website works, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily.
- Functional cookies. These are used to recognise you when you return to our website. This enables us to personalise our content for you and remember your preferences, for example your username, language or text size. The information these cookies collect may be anonymised and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.
