Cookie Policy

01What are cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to improve your experience, and to provide information to the site owner. Similar technologies such as pixels and local storage work in much the same way.

02How we use cookies

We use cookies to keep the website secure and working as intended, to remember your preferences, and to understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it. We do not use cookies to collect more information than we need.

03The types of cookies we use

• Essential cookies: required for the website to function, for example keeping the site secure and remembering your progress through a form. These are always on, as the website cannot work without them.
• Performance & analytics cookies: help us understand which pages are visited and how the site performs, so we can improve it. These are only set with your agreement where required.
• Preference cookies: remember choices you make, such as previously entered details, to give you a smoother experience.

04Third-party cookies

Some cookies may be set by third-party services we use, such as analytics providers or embedded content. These providers have their own privacy and cookie policies, which we encourage you to review.

05Managing your cookies

You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings, and set your browser to refuse cookies or alert you when cookies are being sent. Please note that disabling essential cookies may affect how the website functions.

06Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology or the law. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.

07Severability and continuing enforceability

If any clause, provision, statement, term or part of this Cookie Policy is found by a court of competent jurisdiction or another authorised regulatory or judicial authority to be invalid, unlawful, unenforceable or contrary to applicable law, that finding applies only to the clause, provision or part affected.

The remaining clauses, provisions and terms of this Cookie Policy remain valid, binding and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and continue in full force and effect.

Where the law allows, any invalid or unenforceable provision will be interpreted or limited to the minimum extent necessary to make it lawful and enforceable, while keeping, as far as reasonably possible, its original purpose and commercial intent.

The invalidity or unenforceability of any individual provision does not automatically invalidate or affect the enforceability of this Cookie Policy as a whole, provided the remaining provisions can continue to operate lawfully and independently.

Nothing in this clause excludes, restricts or overrides any statutory rights, consumer protections or other mandatory legal requirements under the laws of England and Wales.
