Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website when you visit it. They are widely used to make websites work correctly, improve efficiency, and provide information to site owners. Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting ("first-party cookies") or by third-party services operating on that website ("third-party cookies").
Similar technologies include web beacons (clear GIFs), pixel tags, local storage, and session storage. This policy covers all such technologies collectively referred to as "cookies".

We use the following types of cookies based on their duration:
- Session cookies: Temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser. They are used to maintain your session state during a single visit.
- Persistent cookies: Cookies that remain on your device for a set period or until deleted. They allow us to recognise you on return visits and remember your preferences.
3. Cookie Categories
We group cookies into four categories. You can manage your preferences for each non-essential category through our cookie consent banner or the preference centre below.

- Informed — this policy explains what each cookie does
- Unambiguous — we require a positive action (tick / click) to accept non-essential cookies
You may withdraw or change your consent at any time using the preference centre in Section 3 above, or by clicking the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer of any page.

We may update this Cookie Policy periodically to reflect changes in technology, regulation, or our services. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date above.
