Cookie Policy

1. What Cookies Are

Cookies are small text files placed on your browser or device when you visit a website. Similar technologies may include local storage, session storage, tags, pixels, or scripts that help websites remember information and understand how pages are being used.

Some cookies expire when you close your browser, while others remain for a longer period so that settings and preferences can be remembered.

2. Why We Use Cookies

We may use cookies and related technologies to keep the website functioning correctly, improve navigation, maintain security settings, understand visitor interactions, and assess the performance of content and page layouts.

• to enable core site functionality;
• to remember basic user preferences;
• to measure traffic and site performance;
• to help identify technical issues or misuse.

3. Categories of Cookies

Cookies used on a website commonly fall into several categories, including strictly necessary cookies, functionality cookies, performance or analytics cookies, and third-party cookies delivered through embedded services or infrastructure partners.

Not every category will always be active, and specific technologies may change as the website evolves.

4. Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies help support essential website operations such as page routing, form security, load balancing, and user interface continuity. Without these cookies, some parts of the website may not function as intended.

5. Analytics and Performance Tools

Analytics-related tools may help us understand aggregate visitor behaviour such as which pages are visited most often, how long visitors stay on certain pages, what devices are commonly used, and whether technical issues are affecting performance.

These insights are used to improve content structure, page speed, usability, and operational reliability.

6. Third-Party Technologies

Some technologies on the website may involve third-party providers, for example content delivery services, embedded fonts, security services, analytics services, or hosting-related tools. Those providers may set or access cookies subject to their own policies and technical configurations.

7. Managing Cookie Preferences

Most browsers allow you to manage cookies through browser settings. You may be able to delete existing cookies, block future cookies, or receive a warning before cookies are stored. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect site functionality or visual performance.

Where a cookie banner or consent control is provided, your preferences may also be managed through that interface.

8. Do Not Track and Similar Signals

Browser privacy features and do-not-track signals may be handled differently depending on browser capabilities, legal requirements, and the technologies in use on the website at a given time. A consistent industry-wide response standard may not always be available.

9. Policy Updates

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect legal, technical, or operational changes. Updated wording will be posted on this page so visitors can review the current approach to cookies and related technologies.
