What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site recognise your browser, remember preferences, and provide essential functionality. This policy also covers similar technologies such as local storage, session storage, and tracking pixels.

This Cookie Policy is supplemental to our Privacy Policy.

Managing Cookies

You can manage your cookie preferences at any time on our Cookie Preferences page. Most browsers also let you block or delete cookies through their settings — though this may affect site functionality.

For Google Analytics specifically, you can install the official browser opt-out at

tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

To re-prompt the consent banner, open the Cookie Preferences page and use “Clear stored consent and re-prompt” — the banner will appear again on your next visit.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Material changes will be flagged via the consent banner. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
