This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which ones we use on our website, why we use them, and how you can control or disable them. We aim to be fully transparent about our use of cookies in compliance with the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and UK GDPR.
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to website owners about how their site is being used.
Cookies are not programs and cannot carry viruses or install malware on your device. They simply store small pieces of data that can be read by the website that placed them.

We regularly review the cookies we use and this list may be updated from time to time. The "last updated" date at the top of this page will reflect any changes.
Some cookies on our site may be set by third-party services we use, such as Google Analytics. These third parties have their own privacy policies and we do not control their cookies. We encourage you to review their policies:
We use Google Analytics in anonymised mode, meaning no personally identifiable information is sent to Google through our analytics setup.
You have several options to control or limit how cookies are used:
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can set your browser to refuse cookies, delete existing cookies, or notify you when cookies are being set. Please note that restricting essential cookies may affect the functionality of our website.
You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
When you first visit our website, you will be asked to consent to the use of non-essential cookies. You may withdraw your consent at any time by adjusting your browser settings or contacting us directly.
Essential cookies do not require your consent as they are strictly necessary for the website to function.
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected by updating the "last updated" date at the top of this page. We recommend reviewing this page periodically to stay informed of any updates.
