1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember preferences, and provide information to site owners. Similar technologies, such as localStorage, may also be used on this website.

2. Legal Framework

Our use of cookies and similar technologies is governed by:

  • the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003 (PECR), as amended;
  • the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018, where cookie data amounts to personal data.

Under PECR, we must obtain your consent before storing or accessing non-essential cookies on your device, unless an exemption applies. Strictly necessary cookies may be used without consent where they are essential to provide a service you have requested.

5. Managing Your Preferences

When you first visit our website, a cookie banner allows you to:

  • Accept all — enable all cookie categories including analytics and marketing.
  • Reject — disable all non-essential cookies. Only strictly necessary cookies will remain active.
  • Cookie settings — choose individually which optional categories to enable.

Your preferences are saved in localStorage and will be remembered on subsequent visits. You can change your preferences at any time by clearing your browser data and revisiting the site, or by contacting us. Non-essential cookies are not placed until you have given consent through the banner.

  • Google Fonts — typography delivery. Google may process technical data such as your IP address. See Google's privacy policy for details.

These providers may set their own cookies or process data when their resources are loaded. We do not control third-party cookies. We recommend reviewing their respective privacy policies. Where these services are not strictly necessary, we aim to load them only after you have accepted relevant cookie categories.
