Cookie Policy

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, to improve user experience, and to provide information to the website owner. Cookies can be “first-party” (set by our website) or “third-party” (set by another service we use on our website).

2. What cookies we use

We use a limited number of cookies on our website. We have categorised them below:

2.1 Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They are set in response to actions you take, such as signing in to your account or setting your privacy preferences. Without these cookies, the Service cannot operate properly.

These cookies do not require your consent under PECR because they are strictly necessary for the provision of the Service you have requested.

2.2 Analytics cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information. This data is used to improve the website and our Service. These cookies are only set with your explicit consent.

Google Analytics data is anonymised and we have configured it to not collect personally identifiable information. We use this data solely to understand website usage patterns and improve our Service. You can find out more about how Google uses your data at google.com/policies/privacy/partners.

2.3 Cookies we do NOT use

We do not use advertising or marketing cookies. We do not use social media tracking cookies. We do not use any cookies for behavioural profiling or targeted advertising. We do not sell or share cookie data with third parties for advertising purposes.

3. How to manage your cookie preferences

When you first visit our website, you will see a cookie consent banner that allows you to accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can change your preferences at any time by clicking the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer of our website.

You can also manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to: view what cookies are set on your device; delete cookies individually or in bulk; block third-party cookies; block cookies from specific websites; block all cookies; and delete all cookies when you close your browser.

Please note that if you block or delete strictly necessary cookies, some parts of our website may not function correctly and you may not be able to sign in to your account.

4. Changes to this cookie policy

We may update this cookie policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for legal, regulatory, or operational reasons. The “Effective date” at the top of this policy indicates when it was last updated. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.

6. Legal framework

Our use of cookies is governed by the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR) as amended, and the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR). Under PECR, we are required to obtain your consent before setting any cookies that are not strictly necessary for the provision of the Service you have requested. Under the UK GDPR, where cookies process personal data, we must have a lawful basis for that processing and must respect your rights as a data subject, as set out in our Privacy Policy.

If you are unhappy with how we handle cookies, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). See our Privacy Policy for the ICO’s contact details.
