This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, the types of cookies we use, what information we collect through cookies, how we use that information, and how you can manage your cookie settings.

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when a website is loaded in your browser. They help the website function properly, enhance security, improve your user experience, and provide us with information about how the website is used so we can analyse performance and make improvements.

Like most online services, our website uses both first-party and third-party cookies for several purposes.

First-party cookies are set directly by our website and are primarily necessary for the website to function correctly (for example, to remember your cookie choices, maintain security, or enable basic features). These cookies generally do not collect information that directly identifies you as an individual.

Third-party cookies are set by external providers and partners (for example, analytics or advertising providers). They help us to:
• understand how our website is used (statistics and analytics),
• improve our content, structure and services,
• keep our services secure,
• deliver more relevant advertising and measure the effectiveness of campaigns.

We use CookieYes as our consent management platform (CMP) to control which cookies are placed on your device and to record and store your consent choices in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and applicable cookie and e-privacy rules.

The cookies used on our website fall into the following categories:

Strictly necessary cookies – These cookies are essential for the basic functioning of the website (for example, security, session management, and remembering your consent preferences). They are always active and do not require your consent, but we inform you about them for transparency.

Functional cookies – These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (such as language or other preferences) and provide enhanced, more personalised features.

Analytics cookies – These cookies collect information about how visitors use the website (for example, which pages are visited most often, and how users move around the site). The information is aggregated or anonymised where possible and helps us improve the performance and usability of the website.

Advertising / tracking cookies – These cookies may be used to deliver advertising that is more relevant to you and your interests, and to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They may track your browsing activity across different websites. These cookies are only set if you give your consent.

The detailed list of individual cookies, including provider, purpose, and storage period, is generated and maintained by CookieYes and displayed in the table below.

For cookies that are not strictly necessary, the legal basis for processing personal data (if any) collected via cookies is your consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and applicable e-privacy rules.

For strictly necessary cookies, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in providing a secure, user-friendly and properly functioning website, in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

The storage period for each cookie (session or persistent) depends on its purpose and the provider. You can always see the current retention period for each cookie in the cookie table above, as provided by CookieYes.

Any personal data collected through cookies is processed in line with our main Privacy Policy, where you can find further information about your rights under the GDPR, including the right of access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, and the right to withdraw your consent.

You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by clicking the “Consent Preferences” button above. This will reopen the CookieYes consent banner so you can update your selections or refuse all non-essential cookies.

Please note that if you disable or delete certain cookies, some parts of the website may not function properly or may not be available.

In addition to our consent tool, most web browsers also allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can usually configure your browser to block or delete cookies. Below are links to support pages for some commonly used browsers:
