What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website. They enable core functionality (like security and session continuity) and can also remember preferences, measure performance, or support advertising. Similar technologies include local storage, pixels, and tags. For simplicity we refer to all of these as “cookies”.

Cookie categories we use

  • Essential (Strictly Necessary): Required for the Website to function (e.g., session management, security, cookie consent state). These cannot be disabled via our consent manager because they are necessary to provide the service you requested.
  • Functional: Improve your experience (e.g., remembering settings like theme or UI choices).
  • Analytics (limited/aggregated): Help us understand performance and usage at a high level. Where used, these cookies are optional and can be disabled via preferences.
