Cookie Policy

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognise your browser between visits and remember small pieces of information, such as preferences or whether you have been to the site before.

This page also covers similar technologies (such as local storage and pixel tags) that perform comparable functions.

2. Cookies we use

We use a small number of cookies, grouped by purpose:

Strictly necessary

These cookies are essential for the website to function. They cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set only in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences or submitting a form. They do not store any personally identifiable information.

Performance & analytics

These cookies help us understand how visitors use the site: which pages are viewed most, where visitors come from, and where problems occur. We use:

• Google Analytics (provided by Google) to measure traffic and usage trends. The reports we see are aggregated and are not used to identify you personally.
• Microsoft Clarity (provided by Microsoft) to understand how pages are used through aggregated metrics and anonymized session replays and heatmaps, such as clicks and scrolling. We use this only to improve the site, not to identify individuals.

Functional

These cookies remember choices you make, such as preferences saved between visits, so the site behaves predictably. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose features we have added to the site.

3. Third-party services

Some features are delivered by third parties that may set their own cookies or receive your IP address when their resources load:

• Google – for Google Analytics and Google Fonts.
• Microsoft – for Microsoft Clarity.

Each provider publishes its own privacy and cookies documentation, which governs how it handles the data it collects. We keep the number of third-party services to a minimum.

4. How to control cookies

You can control cookies in several ways:

• Browser settings: all modern browsers let you block or delete cookies, either entirely or for specific sites. Look for “Privacy” or “Site settings” in your browser preferences.
• Do Not Track: you can configure your browser to send a Do Not Track signal. Where applicable, we honour this preference for analytics cookies.
• Opt-out tools: Google offers a Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on, and Microsoft Clarity is covered by the Microsoft privacy controls. Links are available in each provider’s documentation.

Please note that disabling strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of the site from working as expected.

5. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes to the technologies we use or to legal requirements. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page will change when we do.

6. Related policies

This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle the information cookies and similar technologies may collect.
