Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how this website ("Site", "we", "us") uses them, and what choices you have regarding their use. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which contains additional information about how we handle personal data more broadly.
By continuing to use this Site after being presented with our cookie notice, you consent to the use of cookies in accordance with this Policy, except for strictly necessary cookies which are deployed without consent as they are required for the Site to function.
// Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on this Site are set by third parties rather than directly by us. These are placed by services we have integrated into the Site, such as analytics platforms. Third-party cookies are governed by the privacy and cookie policies of their respective providers.
The primary third-party cookie provider used on this Site is Google, for the purpose of analytics via Google Analytics. Google’s privacy policy is available at policies.google.com. Google Analytics cookies collect data about Site usage in aggregate form and do not identify individual users.
We do not allow third-party advertising networks or data brokers to set cookies on this Site. We do not permit the use of third-party cookies for retargeting or behavioral advertising purposes.
// Managing and Controlling Cookies
You have several options for controlling how cookies function on your device:
Cookie consent tool. When you first visit the Site, you are presented with a cookie consent notice that allows you to accept or decline non-essential cookies by category. You may revisit and change your preferences at any time by accessing the cookie settings option on this Site.
Browser settings. All modern browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings menus. You can block all cookies, block third-party cookies only, or delete existing cookies. The process varies by browser:
- Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies and other site data
- Mozilla Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data
- Microsoft Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Manage and delete cookies
Google Analytics opt-out. To prevent Google Analytics from collecting data about your browsing on any website, you may install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Please be aware that blocking or deleting cookies may affect your ability to use certain features of this Site. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled through our consent tool; blocking them via browser settings may cause the Site to malfunction.
// Consent and Withdrawal
Your consent to non-essential cookies is sought at your first visit to the Site through our cookie consent notice. Consent is granular: you may consent to analytical cookies and decline affiliate tracking cookies, or vice versa, depending on the options presented.
You may withdraw consent at any time by accessing the cookie preference panel on this Site and updating your selections. Withdrawal of consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing that took place before you withdrew. Once you withdraw consent, non-essential cookies in the relevant category will no longer be set on your device. Any cookies already set will persist until their natural expiry or until you delete them through your browser.
// Cookies and Personal Data
Some cookies we use may process data that qualifies as personal data under applicable data protection law, particularly where an identifier can be linked back to an individual. Where cookies process personal data, that processing is governed by our Privacy Policy, which describes the legal bases for processing, retention periods, and your rights as a data subject.
The analytical cookies used on this Site – specifically those associated with Google Analytics – collect data in pseudonymous form. IP addresses are anonymized before being stored. The data is used for statistical purposes only and is not linked to any personally identifiable information held by us.
// Do Not Track
“Do Not Track” (DNT) is a browser setting that signals to websites that you prefer not to be tracked. There is currently no universally accepted technical standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals, and our Site does not alter its data collection practices in response to DNT signals at this time. We encourage you to use the cookie management options described in Section 6 to control tracking on this Site.
// Updates to This Cookie Policy
We review this Cookie Policy periodically and update it when cookies are added, removed, or modified, or when applicable law requires changes. The updated Policy will be published on this page with a revised date. Continued use of the Site after publication of updates constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy.
Where updates require fresh consent – for example, because a new category of non-essential cookie has been introduced – you will be presented with a new consent notice on your next visit.
// Contact
If you have questions about this Cookie Policy or about the cookies used on this Site, please use the contact form available on the Site. We will aim to respond to all reasonable inquiries within a reasonable timeframe.
