What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function properly, improve performance, and provide information to website owners about how visitors interact with their pages. Cookies can be temporary session cookies that expire when you close your browser, or persistent cookies that remain on your device for a longer period or until you delete them.

Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are necessary for the basic operation of our website. Without these cookies, certain services you request cannot be provided. They support key functions such as navigating between pages, accessing secure areas, and maintaining your selections or preferences while you move around the site. These cookies do not gather information for marketing purposes or track your activity on other websites.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use our website. They collect information such as which pages are visited most often, how long visitors stay on each page, and whether any errors occur. The information gathered is aggregated and does not directly identify individual users. We use analytics cookies to monitor website performance, improve navigation, and ensure that our content is relevant and easy to find.

The insights gained from analytics cookies allow us to refine our services, optimise page load times, and identify areas where visitors may experience difficulties. This performance monitoring helps us keep the website efficient, reliable, and user friendly.

Marketing Cookies

Marketing cookies are used to deliver relevant content and advertising based on your interests. They may be set by us or by third party partners who provide advertising or social media services. These cookies can help measure the effectiveness of marketing campaigns, limit the number of times you see a particular advert, and understand how users respond to promotional messages.

Marketing cookies work by recognising your device and tracking your visits to our website and other sites. The information collected may be combined with other data to build a profile of your interests. This allows advertising and content to be more closely aligned with what you are likely to find useful.

Purpose of Cookies for Performance Monitoring

We use cookies to monitor the overall performance of our website and services. By analysing cookie data, we can identify technical issues, measure response times, and ensure that pages load correctly on different devices and browsers. Performance monitoring through cookies helps us maintain a smooth browsing experience, improve site stability, and plan future updates to better meet the needs of visitors.

This data is used in an aggregated form and is not intended to personally identify you. It helps us make informed decisions about design changes, content improvements, and service enhancements.
