Cookie Policy

What are cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help sites function, remember your preferences, and understand how the site is used. We also use similar technologies such as local storage for the same purposes.

Categories of cookies we use

We group cookies into the following categories. You can accept all, reject non-essential, or choose by category.

• ✓Strictly necessary — required for core functionality, security, and remembering your consent choices. These are always active and cannot be switched off.
• ✓Analytics — help us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it. These are aggregated and non-identifying, and only set with your consent.
• ✓Marketing — used to personalize and measure campaigns across channels. Only set with your consent.

Your consent and choices

When you first visit our site, a consent banner lets you accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or open Preferences to choose by category. Non-essential cookies (analytics and marketing) are not set until you give consent.

You can change your choices at any time by selecting "Cookie Settings" in the site footer, which reopens the preferences panel. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

GDPR & ePrivacy alignment

For visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and other regions with similar rules, we apply a consent-first approach consistent with the GDPR and ePrivacy requirements:

• ✓Non-essential cookies are blocked until you opt in
• ✓Consent is requested through a clear, granular banner
• ✓Rejecting non-essential cookies is as easy as accepting
• ✓Your choices are stored so we can honor them, and can be changed at any time
• ✓We record the categories you consented to and when

Managing cookies in your browser

In addition to our consent controls, most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect how the site functions.

Third-party cookies

Some analytics or marketing technologies may be provided by third parties that set their own cookies when enabled with your consent. These providers process data according to their own policies, and we enable them only within the categories you allow.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy as our practices or applicable laws change. The "Last updated" date above reflects the latest version.
