What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit our website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to website owners about how users interact with their sites.

Cookies contain information that is transferred to your device's hard drive. They help us recognise you when you return to our website and enable us to provide you with a better, more personalised experience.

Types of Cookies We Use

1. Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to function properly. They enable basic functions like page navigation, access to secure areas, and cookie consent management. The website cannot function properly without these cookies, so they cannot be disabled.

4. Marketing Cookies

These cookies are used to track visitors across websites and deliver advertisements that are relevant and engaging.
