Cookie Policy

1. About This Policy 

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them on our website, and how you can manage your preferences. We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use, and this policy is designed to give you clear, comprehensive information. 

This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides more detail on how we handle personal data. 

2. Your Choices: How We Obtain Your Consent 

Your privacy is our priority. Under UK law, specifically the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), we cannot place most cookies on your device without your explicit, prior consent. 1 

Our website operates on a consent-first basis. This means that when you first visit our site, we will only set cookies that are “strictly necessary” for the website to function. All other cookies—for analytics, functionality, or marketing—are switched off by default and will only be activated if you give your active, opt-in consent. 1 

You will be presented with a cookie consent banner where you can: 

• Accept All: Agree to all categories of cookies. 

• Reject All: Reject all non-essential cookies. 

• Manage Preferences: Choose which specific categories of cookies you are happy to accept. 

The “Reject All” option will always be as easy to select as the “Accept All” option. 

3. Types of Cookies We Use 

We have categorised our cookies so you can easily understand their purpose and make an informed choice. 

1. a) Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for you to move around the website and use its features, such as accessing secure areas or managing your login session. They do not store any personally identifiable information and do not require your consent. Our website cannot function properly without them. 

1. b) Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies collect information about how you use our website, such as which pages you visit most often and if you receive any error messages. This helps us improve how our website works. 

Under the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025, we are permitted to set some first-party analytics cookies without your prior consent, for the sole purpose of improving our service. 2 However, we must provide you with clear information about them and a simple way to opt-out at any time, which you can do via our cookie management tool. Any third-party analytics cookies will still require your prior opt-in consent. 

1. c) Functionality Cookies

These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your username or language preference) to provide a more enhanced and personal experience. Similar to analytics cookies, some functionality cookies that are low risk and used to improve your experience are exempt from prior consent, but you will always have a clear option to opt-out.  

1. d) Marketing and Third-Party Cookies

These cookies are used to track visitors across websites. They may be set by us or by third-party partners, such as social media platforms (e.g., Facebook, LinkedIn) or advertising networks. The intention is to display ads that are relevant and engaging for the individual user. 

These cookies will only ever be set if you provide your explicit, prior, opt-in consent via our cookie consent banner. 1 

4. Managing Your Preferences 

You are in full control of your cookie settings. You can change your mind and withdraw your consent at any time. 

• Cookie Management Tool: The easiest way to manage your preferences is through our cookie consent tool. You can access this at any time via the “Manage Cookies” link in the footer of our website. This allows you to review and change your consent choices for each category of non-essential cookie. 

• Browser Settings: You can also adjust your browser settings to refuse cookies. Most browsers provide instructions on how to do this in their “Help” or “Settings” menu. Please be aware that if you use your browser settings to block all cookies (including strictly necessary ones), you may not be able to access all or parts of our site. 1 

5. Cookie Declaration 

The table below provides detailed information about the individual cookies we use, including their provider, purpose, and how long they last on your device (their lifespan). 1 This list is updated regularly.
