What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember certain information about your session or preferences, helping the platform function correctly and consistently across pages.

Cookies do not access files stored elsewhere on your device and do not contain personally identifying information on their own. They serve a technical and analytical purpose, supporting both the reliability of the platform and our ability to understand how visitors interact with content.

Cookies can be categorised by their lifespan and origin. Session cookies are temporary and deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain for a defined period. First-party cookies are set by our website directly, while third-party cookies may originate from external services integrated into the platform.

Types of Cookies We Use

We use several categories of cookies on this website. Each category serves a distinct function and contributes to different aspects of the platform's operation.

Essential cookies are required for the website to function. They support core features such as navigation, page rendering, and basic security. Disabling these cookies may prevent certain parts of the platform from operating as expected.

Session cookies are created during your visit and removed automatically when you end your browsing session. They help maintain consistency as you move between pages and sections of the website.

Persistent cookies remain on your device after your session ends. They are used to recognise returning visitors and remember settings from previous visits, providing a more consistent experience over time.

Analytical cookies collect anonymised data about how users interact with our content. This includes information such as page views, navigation paths, and time spent on sections. The data helps us evaluate what content is useful and identify areas for improvement.

We do not use cookies to collect sensitive personal data or to construct individual profiles for advertising or commercial targeting.

Third-Party Services and Analytics

To support the technical operation and performance analysis of our platform, we may integrate third-party tools that process anonymised data via cookies. These services assist us in monitoring traffic trends, detecting technical issues, and evaluating how well the platform serves its users.

Third-party providers operate under their own privacy policies and are required to comply with applicable UK data protection regulations. We do not authorise third parties to use data collected through our platform for purposes beyond the specific services they provide to us.

Examples of tools we may use include analytics platforms for measuring visitor behaviour, performance monitoring services for identifying technical errors, and content delivery infrastructure to improve loading speed. All such tools are selected with data minimisation principles in mind.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You can adjust cookie settings at any time through your browser. Most modern browsers allow you to view, accept, block, or delete cookies depending on your preferences.

To manage your settings, open the privacy or security section of your browser and select the options relevant to cookies. You may choose to block all non-essential cookies, accept cookies from specific websites only, or clear stored cookies at any point.

Note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of parts of our website. Essential cookies are necessary for basic operations and cannot be disabled without disrupting navigation and content access.

If you need guidance on how to adjust cookie settings in your specific browser, consult the help documentation provided by your browser's developer.
