1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites function, recognise returning visitors, and provide aggregated information about usage. We also use similar technologies such as local storage and pixels, which operate in comparable ways.
2. Cookies We Use
We group cookies into the following categories:
- Strictly necessary cookies: Required for core functionality such as security, load balancing, session management, and your cookie preferences. These cannot be switched off in our systems.
- Performance and analytics cookies: Help us understand how visitors interact with the Services (e.g., page views, download counts, navigation paths) so we can improve content quality and user experience. Data is aggregated and not used to identify individuals. These cookies load only when you provide consent.
- Functional cookies: Remember your choices, such as preferred layout, saved filters, or whether you have seen feature announcements. Declining these may limit some personalised features.
We do not use cookies for behavioural advertising or social media tracking.
