This policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, and how you can manage your preferences. We believe in being open and honest, so we’ve kept this in plain English. Your privacy is important to us, and we are committed to being transparent about how we handle your data.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to the website owners. Think of them as the website’s memory; they allow a site to remember you, your preferences, and what you’ve done on previous visits.

How We Use Cookies

We use cookies to improve your experience on our website. We categorize the cookies we use into four types:

Essential Cookies:

These are vital for the proper operation of our website. They ensure that things like our navigation and contact forms work correctly. Without these, the site would not function as expected. We place these cookies automatically to ensure a smooth user experience.

Analytics Cookies:

These cookies help us understand how visitors use our site. They collect anonymous data on things like which pages are most popular, how long visitors stay on a page, and if they encounter any errors. This information helps us improve the content and design of the site. We only use these with your permission.

Marketing Cookies:

These cookies are used to help us show you relevant ads. They track your activity on this website and may also track your activity on other websites you visit to help us deliver marketing messages that are more suited to your interests. This is often done by third-party advertising partners like Google. By accepting these cookies, you are allowing us to use this information to serve you targeted ads on other websites. We will only use these with your explicit consent.

Preferences Cookies:

These cookies remember the choices you make to give you a more personalised and convenient experience. For example, they can remember your accessibility settings (like text size or contrast) or other display preferences you might choose. This saves you from having to set your preferences again every time you visit. We will only use these with your permission.

Managing Your Cookies
