1. What cookies do
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They let a site remember your preferences, understand aggregate usage, and, in some cases, support advertising — though we do not use advertising cookies on this Site. Our cookie banner lets you accept all cookies, reject non-essential ones, or set your own preference; your choice is stored in your browser's local storage so it persists across visits until you clear it.
2. Cookies used on this site
| Category | Purpose | Duration | Consent required? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essential | Remembers your cookie choice and supports core site functions such as navigation and form submission. | Persistent (local storage) | No — required for the site to function |
| Analytics | Helps us understand which pages are visited and how, in aggregate, so we can improve content and structure. | Up to 13 months | Yes |
| Functional | Remembers non-essential preferences, such as previously viewed pages, to smooth repeat visits. | Up to 12 months | Yes |
3. Managing cookies through our banner
You can change your choice at any time by clearing the stored preference in your browser (which will cause the banner to reappear) or by adjusting your browser's cookie settings directly, as described below. Selecting "Reject Non-Essential" still allows the site to function normally; only the analytics and functional categories are affected.
4. Managing cookies in your browser
Every major browser lets you view, block or delete cookies. In Google Chrome, go to Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data. In Mozilla Firefox, go to Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data. In Safari, go to Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data. In Microsoft Edge, go to Settings → Cookies and site permissions. Blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of this and other websites.
5. Do Not Track and global privacy signals
Some browsers support a "Do Not Track" setting or a Global Privacy Control signal. Where legally required to do so, we honour recognised opt-out signals for non-essential data collection; where no legal requirement applies, we still encourage you to use our cookie banner to set your preference directly.
