What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They help the site remember information about your visit — such as your preferences — so that the experience works as expected. Cookies do not give websites access to your device or files; they only contain information that you have permitted the site to set.
Cookies at a glance
This website uses three categories of cookies. The table below summarises each type.
| Type | Purpose | Duration | Required? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Site functionality and security | Session / up to 1 year | Always on | |
| Understand page visits and navigation | Up to 2 years | Optional | |
| Remember your choices on this site | Up to 1 year | Optional |
1. Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are necessary for this website to function. Without them, parts of the site may not work properly. These cookies do not collect any personally identifying information and cannot be disabled while using the site.
They are used for purposes such as:
- Maintaining your session as you navigate between pages
- Remembering your cookie consent choice so you are not prompted on every visit
- Protecting form submissions from automated misuse
- Ensuring the site displays correctly on your device
2. Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use this website — for example, which pages are visited most often, how long visitors spend on each page, and where visits originate. This information is collected in aggregate form and is not used to identify individuals.
We use this data to improve the clarity, structure, and usefulness of our website content. Understanding what information people find most helpful allows us to serve visitors better.
Analytics cookies are only placed on your device if you accept optional cookies through our cookie notice. You may withdraw consent at any time by clearing your browser cookies or adjusting your browser settings.
3. Preference Cookies
Preference cookies remember choices you make on this website to make your experience more consistent. For example, they may remember whether you have previously dismissed a notice or selected a display option.
These cookies do not track your activity across other websites. They relate only to your preferences on this site. Like analytics cookies, they are only set with your consent.
4. Third-Party Cookies
This website may include content or functionality from third-party providers — for example, a Google Maps embed to display our office location. These third parties may place their own cookies on your device subject to their own privacy and cookie policies.
We select third-party services with care, but we do not control the cookies they set. We recommend reviewing the cookie policies of any third-party services you interact with on this site.
Third-party cookies relevant to this site may include those set by Google (for maps functionality). Google's cookie information is available at policies.google.com.
5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
When you first visit this website, a notice will appear giving you the option to accept or decline optional cookies (analytics and preference categories). Your choice is stored so that you are not asked again on subsequent visits.
You can also manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
- View which cookies have been placed on your device
- Delete some or all cookies
- Block cookies from particular websites
- Block all third-party cookies
- Be notified when a cookie is placed
Please note that disabling essential cookies may affect the functioning of this website. Guidance on managing cookies is available from your browser's help section. Common browser links:
- Google Chrome — Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and other site data
- Mozilla Firefox — Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data
- Apple Safari — Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data
- Microsoft Edge — Settings > Cookies and site permissions
6. Do Not Track
Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) setting. There is currently no industry-wide standard for responding to DNT signals, and this website does not change its behaviour based on DNT settings. Managing cookies through your browser settings (as described above) remains the most effective way to control tracking on this site.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legislation, or our use of cookies. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
