What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit it. They are widely used to make websites work properly, to improve the experience for the visitor, and to provide information to the website operator.
Cookies cannot execute programs or install software on your device. They are not a privacy risk in themselves — but how they are used matters, which is why we are explaining our use clearly here.
Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies (Always Active)
These cookies are necessary for the website to function. They cannot be switched off because without them, basic services would not work. They include cookies that remember your cookie consent choice.
- cookieConsent — stores your cookie preference so we do not ask you again on every visit. Expires after 12 months.
- Session cookies — temporary cookies deleted when you close your browser, used for basic site navigation.
Analytics Cookies (Optional)
These cookies help us understand how visitors use our website — which pages are visited most, how long visitors stay, and where they come from. This information is used in aggregate and does not identify individual visitors.
- Google Analytics (_ga, _gid) — page view tracking and session data. Expires after 2 years (_ga) and 24 hours (_gid).
Marketing Cookies (Optional)
These cookies may be used to show you relevant content or measure the effectiveness of our advertising. We use these sparingly and only where we believe the information genuinely helps us reach people who would benefit from our programmes.
- Facebook Pixel — tracks actions on our website for advertising measurement purposes.
- Google Ads — conversion tracking to understand which advertising channels are effective.
Preference Cookies (Optional)
These cookies remember choices you have made on our website — such as your region or display preferences — so that we can provide a more personalised experience on future visits.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on our site are set by third-party services, including Google Analytics, Google Ads, and Facebook. These providers have their own privacy policies which govern how they use the data they collect. We recommend reviewing their policies if you have concerns.
Cookie Duration
- Session cookies — deleted automatically when you close your browser
- Persistent cookies — remain on your device for a set period (typically 12 months to 2 years, depending on the cookie)
- Your consent preference is stored for 12 months, after which we may ask you again
