1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places in your browser when you visit. They help the site remember things about your visit — for example, whether you have already seen a notice, or how you tend to navigate the pages.
Cookies cannot carry viruses or access files on your device. They are a standard part of how most websites function, and you have control over which types you allow.
2. Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies — always active
These are necessary for the website to work. They handle things like remembering that you have set your cookie preferences. You cannot turn these off without the site behaving unexpectedly, so there is no toggle for them.
- cookieConsent — stores your cookie preference choices locally; expires after 12 months
Analytics Cookies — optional
These help us understand how visitors use the site — which pages are visited most, where visitors come from, and roughly how long is spent on each section. This informs improvements we make to the site. Data is aggregated and does not identify individuals.
- Page view counts and general navigation patterns
- Device and browser type (category only)
- General geographic region
Marketing Cookies — optional
If enabled, these allow third-party advertising services to show relevant ads on other websites you visit after leaving ours. We do not currently run paid advertising campaigns, but the option exists if you consent.
Preference Cookies — optional
These remember choices you have made on the site — such as language settings — so they persist between visits without you needing to set them again each time.
3. Third-Party Cookies
Some pages on this site may include content from third-party services (for example, an embedded map). These services may set their own cookies according to their own policies. We do not control those cookies, and we encourage you to review the relevant third-party privacy policies if you wish to understand them further.
Potential third-party services include Google Maps (for location embeds) and Google Analytics (if analytics cookies are enabled).
4. Cookie Duration
- Session cookies — deleted when you close your browser
- Persistent cookies — remain until their set expiry date or until you delete them manually. Our preference cookie, for example, is set to expire after 12 months.
