1. Overview
This Cookie Policy applies to this website and explains how cookies and similar technologies may be used when you visit, browse, interact with content, or submit information through our pages.
In the United Kingdom, the main rules on cookies and similar technologies are addressed through the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR). ICO guidance explains that website operators should tell users about cookies, explain what they do, and obtain consent where required. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that may be stored on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies can also include pixels, tags, scripts, local storage, and other tools used to store or access information on a user’s device.
ICO guidance states that PECR applies not only to cookies, but more broadly to technologies that store information or access information stored on a user’s device, including pixels, fingerprinting, scripts, and web storage. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
3. How We May Use Cookies and Similar Technologies
Depending on how the website is configured from time to time, cookies or similar technologies may be used for purposes such as:
- supporting core website functionality;
- remembering user preferences or settings;
- measuring website performance and traffic patterns;
- understanding page usage and engagement;
- improving content, usability, and technical performance;
- supporting advertising, attribution, or campaign measurement where applicable.
4. Types of Cookies We May Use
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These may be used where they are needed for the website or a service requested by the user to function properly, such as supporting security, form handling, or other essential technical operations.
Preference or Functionality Cookies
These may help remember settings or choices you make so that the website can operate more consistently for your session or future visits.
Analytics or Performance Cookies
These may help us understand how visitors use the site, which pages are visited most often, and how the website may be improved.
Advertising or Measurement Cookies
These may be used to understand campaign performance, referrals, or advertising interactions, where such technologies are in use.
5. Consent and Exceptions
ICO guidance states that, as a general rule, organisations must tell people if they set cookies, explain what the cookies do and why, and obtain the user’s consent. ICO also explains that there are exceptions for certain uses, including some technologies that are essential to provide an online service requested by the user. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
Where non-essential cookies or similar technologies are used, they should generally not be set unless and until valid consent has been obtained. ICO has also stated that non-essential advertising cookies should not be placed without valid consent and that users should be able to refuse them at the same point consent is requested. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
6. Information We Seek to Provide
ICO guidance says users should be given clear and comprehensive information about the storage and access technologies used. This includes, where relevant:
- what technologies are used;
- the purposes they are used for;
- any third parties involved;
- how long information is stored or accessed for.
Where personal data is processed through these technologies, transparency obligations under data protection law may also apply. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
7. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies or similar technologies may be placed or operated by third-party services connected to analytics, embedded content, advertising, technical delivery, or performance tools.
Where third parties are involved, their own privacy or cookie notices may also apply. We recommend that users review those third-party notices where relevant.
8. How Long Cookies May Last
Some cookies may operate only for the duration of your browsing session, while others may remain on the device for a longer defined period unless deleted earlier. Duration may vary depending on the purpose of the technology and the provider involved.
ICO guidance states that information about duration is part of the transparency information users should receive. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}
9. Managing Cookies
Depending on the website configuration, you may be able to manage cookie choices through a cookie banner, consent tool, or browser settings.
Most browsers also allow users to block, delete, or restrict cookies. Please note that if certain essential technologies are disabled, some parts of the website may not function correctly.
