This page explains how we use cookies when you visit our website. Cookies help us understand how people use the site and improve the way it works. Some cookies are needed for the site to work properly, while others help with features or advertising. You have the choice to accept or reject non-essential cookies.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files saved on your computer or phone when you visit a website. They help the site remember things like your login or the pages you visited. Some cookies last only for your visit (these are called session cookies). Others stay for longer and remember your settings next time you visit (called persistent cookies).
Cookies do not harm your device or store personal details like your name or address. They are used to make your experience on the website better and smoother. Some cookies are set by us (first-party cookies), and others are set by tools we use, like Google Analytics (third-party cookies). These help us see how the website is used and how we can improve it.
2. Which cookies we use
We use different types of cookies for different jobs. Some are needed to run the site and keep it safe. Others help us see how people use the site or remember your choices, like language or region. We also sometimes use cookies to show you relevant ads on other websites.
Here are the main types:
- Necessary cookies: These help the site work, like when you log in or submit a form.
- Performance cookies: These help us understand how the site is used so we can make it better.
- Functional cookies: These remember your settings to make the site easier to use.
- Marketing cookies: These may track your activity to show ads that match your interests.
3. Why we use cookies
Cookies help us give you a better experience when using our website. They make it quicker to load pages, help you find what you’re looking for, and save your preferences for next time. For example, if you choose a language, a cookie helps the site remember that.
They also help us learn what parts of the website people use most, which helps us improve those areas. Without cookies, some features on the website might not work properly. We also use cookies to show relevant adverts when you visit other websites, but only if you agree. We never use cookies to spy on you or sell your personal data.
4. Your choices
You can decide which cookies we use, apart from the ones that are essential. When you visit the site, you’ll see a cookie banner asking for your permission. You can choose to allow all cookies, reject all except essential ones, or pick which types you want to allow.
If you change your mind, you can update your choices at any time. Just click on the “Cookie settings” link at the bottom of our site. You can also clear cookies from your browser settings if you wish. This gives you full control over your privacy.
5. Your rights
You have the right to know what cookies we use and why. You can choose to accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can also change your decision at any time by updating your cookie settings. This is part of your privacy rights under UK GDPR and cookie laws.
We must ask your permission before using any cookie that is not essential. You can ask us for more information about how we use cookies and how your data is handled. If you’re ever unsure or want to raise a concern, you can contact us at our email address below. We take your privacy seriously and follow all UK data laws.
6. How long we keep cookies
Some cookies only last while you are visiting our site. These are called session cookies and disappear when you close your browser. Other cookies stay longer and are saved on your device until they reach their expiry date or you delete them.
Most cookies we use stay for a few days to a year, depending on their purpose. For example, a cookie that remembers your settings might last longer than one used for website analytics. You can see exact times by checking your browser’s cookie list. If you don’t want cookies stored at all, you can delete them from your browser any time.
7. Third-party cookies
Sometimes we use services like Google Analytics or social media buttons, and they may place cookies on your device. These are called third-party cookies because they are set by another company, not by us. These help us understand website traffic or let you share pages on social media.
These cookies may track your activity across other websites too. We only allow these cookies with your permission. You can manage them in your cookie settings or through your browser. Please check the privacy policy of the third party to see how they use your data.
8. Changes to this policy
We may update this cookie policy from time to time if things change. If we add new cookies or change how we use them, we’ll update this page. We’ll also change the date at the top to show when the latest update was made.
You should check this page now and again to stay up to date. We aim to be clear and honest about how cookies are used. If something is unclear, feel free to contact us for more help. Your trust is important to us.
