1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small files or pieces of information stored on or accessed from your device when you visit a website.
They can help websites operate correctly, remember preferences, understand usage and provide certain features.
Similar technologies may perform comparable functions even if they are not technically cookies.
2. How We Use Cookies
This website may use cookies and similar technologies to:
- provide essential website functionality;
- maintain security;

- support optional third-party features where enabled.
The exact cookies used may vary depending on the services and integrations enabled on the live website.
3. Necessary Cookies
Necessary cookies support functions required for the website to operate properly or securely.
They may be used for purposes such as:
- security;
- authentication;
- fraud or abuse prevention;
- session management;
- load balancing;
- remembering privacy or cookie preferences; and
- providing features specifically requested by the visitor.
Because these technologies are required for core functionality, they may operate without optional cookie consent where permitted by applicable law.
4. Preference Cookies
Preference or functionality cookies may remember choices you make so the website can provide a more consistent experience.
Examples may include:
- display preferences;
- language settings;
- interface choices; and
- other optional settings.
Where required, these cookies should only be enabled after the appropriate choice has been made.
5. Analytics Cookies
Where analytics are enabled, analytics cookies or similar technologies may help us understand:
- how many people visit the website;
- which pages are used;
- how visitors navigate through the website;
- how visitors arrived at the website; and
- whether website features are performing effectively.
This information can help improve usability and performance.
Where consent is required for analytics technologies, they should remain disabled until the visitor provides the relevant permission.
6. Marketing and Third-Party Cookies
Some websites may use optional technologies supplied by advertising, social media, video, mapping or other third-party services.
These technologies may allow the relevant provider to receive information about interactions with the website.
Where such technologies require consent, they should not be activated until the visitor has provided the appropriate permission.
The available categories depend on the integrations enabled on the live website.
7. Cookie Preferences
Where this website provides cookie controls, you can use them to accept, reject or manage optional cookie categories.
You can normally reopen the cookie settings interface using the Cookie Settings link provided on the website.
Changing your preferences should update how applicable optional technologies operate going forward.
8. Browser Controls
Most browsers also allow you to view, block or delete cookies through browser settings.
Blocking certain cookies may affect the operation or usability of some website features.
Browser controls operate separately from the website's own cookie preference system.
9. How Long Cookies Last
Cookies may be:
- session cookies, which generally expire when the browser session ends; or
- persistent cookies, which remain for a defined period unless deleted earlier.
The lifespan of individual cookies depends on their purpose and the service that sets them.
10. Third-Party Services
Where third-party services are enabled, those providers may set or access their own cookies or similar technologies.
Their use of information is governed by their own terms and privacy information.
The specific third parties used may differ between implementations of this website.
