​

This Cookies Policy explains how our website (“we”, “us”, or “our”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit or interact with our online services within the United Kingdom. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring that your personal data is handled in compliance with applicable laws, including the UK General Data Protection Regulation (“UK GDPR”) and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (“PECR”).

This document provides comprehensive information about the cookies we use, the purposes for which we use them, and your rights in relation to your data.

What Are Cookies?

​

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (such as a computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit certain websites. They are widely used to make websites work, improve their efficiency, and provide information to the site owners. Cookies also allow websites to remember your actions and preferences (such as login information, language, font size, and other display preferences) over a period of time, so you do not have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another.

Cookies can be “first-party” (set by us) or “third-party” (set by other websites or services that we use to enhance our website).

​

​

We use different types of cookies, which can be categorised as follows:

  • Functionality Cookies: These cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your username, language, or region) and provide enhanced, more personalised features. They may also be used to provide services you have asked for, such as watching a video or commenting on a blog.

  • Targeting/Advertising Cookies: These cookies are used to deliver adverts more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.
