3. What are cookies and similar technologies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, mobile telephone or other device when you visit a website. They allow a website to recognise your device, remember your choices and perform certain functions.

Some cookies are session cookies and expire when you close your browser. Other cookies are persistent and remain on your device for a specified period or until you remove them.

Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, tracking pixels, scripts and tags. These technologies may store information on your device or access information already stored there. References to cookies in this policy include these similar technologies where appropriate.

4. When we require your consent

The Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations govern the use of cookies and similar technologies in the United Kingdom.

We may use technologies that are strictly necessary for the operation, security and requested functions of the website without asking for consent.

We ask for consent before using Google Analytics or any other non-essential analytics, functionality, performance, advertising or marketing technologies.

Where a narrow legal exception may apply to certain statistical or appearance and functionality technologies, we will only rely on it if all applicable conditions are satisfied. This includes providing clear information and a simple, free way for visitors to object.

5. How we use cookies

We currently use the following categories.

5.1 Strictly necessary technologies

These technologies are required for website security, spam prevention, consent management and essential browser compatibility.

They cannot normally be disabled through our consent tool because the website cannot provide the relevant function securely or properly without them.

You can still remove these technologies through your browser, although doing so may affect how the website operates.

5.2 Analytics technologies

With your consent, we use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the website.

This may include information about:

  • the pages visited;

  • the approximate duration of visits;

  • how visitors reached the website;

  • the type of device and browser used;

  • general interaction with website content; and

  • the number of visits and returning visitors.

We use this information to produce reports, understand website performance and improve our content and services.

Google Analytics technologies are disabled unless and until you consent to analytics through our cookie banner.

5.3 Other categories

Our consent tool includes categories for functionality, performance and advertising technologies.

At the date of this policy, the website’s live cookie register does not list any technologies in these categories.

If we introduce technologies in these categories, we will update our cookie register and, where required, obtain consent before they are activated.

When you first visit the website, our cookie banner allows you to:

  • select Accept All;

  • select Customise to choose individual categories.

Non-essential technologies are not enabled merely because you continue browsing the website.

Where consent is required, the relevant category will remain disabled unless you actively enable it or select Accept All.

You can change your choices or withdraw consent at any time by selecting Cookie Settings on the website. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before it was withdrawn.

You may also delete or block cookies through your browser settings. Browser controls vary, so you should consult your browser’s help information for instructions.

Blocking strictly necessary technologies may prevent certain parts of the website, including contact forms and consent controls, from operating properly.

8. Third-party providers

Some technologies used on our website are provided by third parties.

Our current third-party providers include:

  • CookieYes, which provides our cookie consent and preference management system;

  • Google reCAPTCHA, which protects the website and its forms against malicious activity and spam; and

  • Google Analytics, which provides website usage statistics when analytics consent has been given.

These providers may receive technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device information, website activity and cookie identifiers.

Where information collected through these technologies is personal information, our use of it is also governed by our Privacy Policy. That policy explains our lawful bases, disclosures, international transfers, retention practices and your data protection rights.

9. Changes to this website or this policy

We review the website and its technologies regularly and at least annually.

We may update this policy when:

  • cookies or similar technologies are added, removed or changed;

  • a new service provider is introduced;

  • the purpose of a technology changes;

  • retention periods change; or

  • legal or regulatory requirements change.

The latest version will always be published on this page with its updated date.

Where a change materially affects an existing consent, we will request fresh consent before using the relevant technology for the new purpose.
