1. What Are Cookies?

A cookie is a small text file placed in the browser files of your computer or device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used to make websites work more effectively, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the owners of the site about how visitors use it.

Cookies cannot read data from your hard disk or read cookie files created by other websites. The only personal information a cookie can contain is information you supply yourself. We use cookies in accordance with the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), as amended by the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025, and the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR).

3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They are set in response to actions you take, such as recording your cookie preferences. They do not store any personally identifiable information. No consent is required for strictly necessary cookies.

3.2 Statistical / Analytics Cookies

Under the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 (in force 5 February 2026), analytics cookies used solely for statistical purposes to understand and improve website usage no longer require your prior consent. Instead, we operate these cookies on an opt-out basis — they are active by default, but you can turn them off at any time using the controls described in Section 5 below.

 

We use Google Analytics to help us understand how visitors interact with our website. The information collected includes:

  • Pages visited and time spent on each page.
  • How visitors arrived at our website (e.g. search engine, direct link).
  • Approximate geographic location (country/region level only).
  • Device and browser type.

 

This data is collected in aggregate and is used solely to improve the performance and content of our website. We do not use it for advertising or profiling purposes.

Important: We have configured Google Analytics with IP anonymisation enabled, meaning your full IP address is never stored. We do not permit Google to use the data collected via our website for Google’s own advertising purposes. For more information about how Google uses data collected via its analytics services, please visit: policies.google.com/privacy

  • Targeting or advertising cookies: Cookies used to track your browsing across websites in order to show you personalised advertisements. These would require your explicit consent before being set.
  • Social media cookies: Cookies set by social media platforms such as LinkedIn, Facebook, or Twitter/X. We do not embed social media sharing widgets that set cookies on page load.
  • Profiling or behavioural cookies: Cookies used to build a profile of your interests or behaviour online.

 

Should we introduce any of the above categories in future, we will update this policy and, where required, seek your explicit consent before setting those cookies.
