Cookie Policy

Last Updated: March 2026

1. Our Approach to Cookies

We value your privacy and believe in being transparent about how we use technology on our website. To keep our site fast and private, we use a “privacy-first” approach. We use very few cookies, and we never track you without your explicit permission.

2. 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 more efficiently and to provide information to the owners of the site.

3. How We Use Cookies

We categorise our cookies into two types: Strictly Necessary and Performance.

A. Strictly Necessary Cookies (Always On)

These cookies are essential for the website to function properly. They do not track your personal identity or browsing habits across other sites.

  • Purpose: To remember your privacy preferences (e.g., whether you said yes or no to analytics), ensure the site loads correctly, and maintain security.
  • Legal Basis: These are required for the “legitimate interest” of delivering the service you requested (viewing our website).

B. Performance & Analytics Cookies (Opt-in Only)

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our site (e.g., which pages are most popular).

  • Your Choice: These cookies are disabled by default. They will only be activated if you click “Accept” on our cookie banner.
  • Anonymisation: Even when enabled, we use Google Analytics with IP anonymisation, meaning your full IP address is never stored by Google.
  • Data: We see trends (e.g., “100 people visited the Home page”), not individual people.
