1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your computer, smartphone or other device when you visit them.

They help websites function correctly, remember certain preferences and, where enabled, provide information about how visitors use a website.

Some cookies are set directly by the website you visit (first-party cookies), while others may be set by external services integrated into the website (third-party cookies).

Cookies may be temporary and expire when you close your browser, or remain on your device for a specified period.

2. How We Use Cookies

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:

  • Supporting essential website functionality
  • Maintaining website security
  • Remembering cookie consent preferences
  • Supporting online forms and other interactive features
  • Measuring website performance, where enabled
  • Displaying embedded third-party content, such as maps, where enabled

The cookies used may vary depending on the website features, third-party services and your consent preferences.

3. Types of Cookies

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are required for essential website functions, such as security, form operation and remembering your privacy preferences.

Strictly necessary cookies do not normally require consent under applicable UK cookie rules, although we still provide information about their use.

Analytics and Performance Cookies

Where enabled, these cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website, such as which pages are visited and whether technical problems occur.

Analytics cookies that require consent will not be set until you have given the necessary permission.

Functional Cookies

Functional cookies may support optional features or remember preferences that improve your website experience.

Whether consent is required depends on the purpose and applicable legal requirements.

Third-Party and Embedded Content Cookies

Some website features, such as embedded maps or externally hosted content, may involve third-party services.

These services may use cookies or similar technologies according to their own privacy and cookie policies.

Where consent is required, the relevant non-essential technologies should remain disabled until you have made your choice.

4. Cookies Used on Our Website

The specific cookies used on our website depend on the services and features currently active.

We maintain information about cookies and similar technologies identified through our website cookie audit.
