1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you use our website or services. We also use similar technologies, such as your browser's local storage. In this policy, "cookies" covers all of these.
2. Cookies We Use
Essential cookies (always on)
These are needed for our website and services to work, so they can't be switched off:
- Authentication (e.g. login sessions using JWT or similar technologies)
- Security and fraud prevention
- hier_cookie_consent: remembers the cookie choices you make on our website, so we don't ask you again on every visit. It is stored in your browser's local storage until you change your choices or clear your browser data.
Analytics cookies (only with your consent)
With your consent, we use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our website, for example which pages are visited and how long people stay. This helps us improve the website. Google Analytics sets these cookies:
- _ga: distinguishes one browser from another. Lasts up to 2 years.
- _ga_<ID>: keeps track of your visit. Lasts up to 2 years.
These cookies are only set if you choose "Accept all" or switch on Analytics in our cookie settings. If you choose "Reject all", or switch Analytics off later, Google Analytics stops and its cookies are deleted.
Advertising and marketing cookies
We do not currently use advertising or marketing cookies. If we introduce them, we will update this policy first and only use them with your consent.
3. Managing Cookies
You can change your choices at any time using the "Change cookie settings" button on this page or the "Cookie settings" link at the bottom of every page. You can also control cookies through:
- Your browser settings
- Device-level controls
Disabling essential cookies may impact functionality.
4. Third-Party Cookies
Google Analytics is provided by Google Ireland Limited. Google may process information about your visit, including outside the UK. You can read how Google uses this information in Google's privacy policy.
If we add other third-party services that use cookies, we will update this policy before introducing them.
