What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the site's owners.

This policy explains what cookies we use on this website, why we use them, and how you can control them.

When you first visit our website, a banner asks how you would like us to use cookies. You can:

Accept all cookies;
Reject all non-essential cookies; or
Open Cookie settings to choose which categories to allow.

Strictly necessary cookies are always active because the site cannot work without them. All other cookies are only set after you have given your consent for the relevant category. We do not set analytics or third-party cookies unless you choose to allow them.

You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by selecting the "Cookie preferences" link in the footer at the bottom of any page. This re-opens the settings panel, where you can turn categories on or off and save your new choice.

If you withdraw consent for analytics, we will also remove the Google Analytics cookies from your browser. Please note that some third-party providers set cookies on their own domains; where that is the case we will stop loading their content, but you may also need to clear those cookies through your browser.

You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings. If you do, some parts of the site may not work as intended. Guidance for common browsers is available at www.aboutcookies.org or www.allaboutcookies.org.

Categories of cookies we use

Strictly necessary: required for the website to function, including security, maintaining your session, and remembering your cookie choice. These cannot be switched off.

Analytics: help us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it. These are only set if you consent. We use Google Analytics for this.

Third party: set by external services whose content we embed (for example client review widgets or embedded videos and maps). These are only set if you consent.
