8. Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use the following types:

Strictly necessary cookies

These are essential for the site to function and cannot be disabled. They include session management and security tokens. No consent is required for these.

Analytics cookies

We use anonymised analytics to understand how visitors use the site — pages visited, time on site, and referral source. These are only set with your consent.

Preference cookies

We store your cookie consent preference so we don't ask you again on every visit.

Managing cookies

You can withdraw your cookie consent at any time by clearing your browser cookies or adjusting your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies — see your browser's help documentation for instructions.

We do not use advertising or tracking cookies. We do not share cookie data with third-party advertisers.

9. Security

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data, including HTTPS encryption, access controls, and regular security reviews. In the unlikely event of a data breach that poses a risk to your rights, we will notify the ICO within 72 hours and affected individuals without undue delay.
