2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your computer, smartphone, tablet or other device.

They are commonly used to enable websites to function, remember visitor preferences, support security and collect information about website performance.

Cookies may be stored temporarily during a browsing session or remain on your device for a longer period.

Similar technologies, including browser storage, tracking pixels and scripts, may perform related functions and can be subject to the same legal requirements.

They may support:

  • Basic website functionality.

  • Security and fraud prevention.

  • Essential session management.

  • Network and server operations.

4.2 Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies may help us understand how visitors interact with the website, including which pages are viewed, how visitors navigate and whether technical errors occur.

Where analytics services are used, information collected may include device details, browser information, page visits and website usage patterns.

Analytics information may be used to improve website usability, performance and content.

We will apply the consent and objection requirements that are relevant to the specific analytics technologies in use, in accordance with applicable law.

Functional cookies may support optional features and preferences, including embedded website content and visitor settings.

Some functional cookies may be exempt from consent where the relevant legal conditions are met. Others will require consent before they are placed or accessed.

Declining optional functional cookies may affect the availability of certain website features without preventing general access to the website.

4.4 Third-Party and Marketing Cookies

Our website may contain links to, or embedded content from, external platforms, including Facebook.

We do not control cookies placed independently by third-party websites after you leave our website.

5. First-Party and Third-Party Cookies

We recommend reviewing those policies before interacting with external content.

6. Session and Persistent Cookies

Our website may use two broad categories of cookies.

Session cookies are temporary and normally expire when you close your browser or end the relevant browsing session.

Persistent cookies remain on your device for a specified period or until you delete them.

The duration of each cookie depends on its purpose and the settings applied by the website or relevant third-party provider.
