Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to website owners. Cookies help us understand how you use our website, remember your preferences, and improve your overall experience.
We use cookies for several purposes:
These cookies are essential for the website to function properly. They enable basic functions like page navigation, access to secure areas, and form submissions. The website cannot function properly without these cookies, and they cannot be disabled.
We use Google Analytics to collect information about how visitors use our website. These cookies help us understand which pages are most popular, how visitors navigate through our site, and identify areas for improvement. The information is collected anonymously and used to improve our website's performance and user experience.
These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your language preference or cookie consent choices) and provide enhanced, more personalised features. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages.
We use Google Ads and other advertising platforms to deliver relevant advertisements and measure campaign effectiveness. These cookies track your browsing activity across websites to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant ads. They also help us understand which marketing channels are most effective.

When you decline marketing cookies, Google services adjust their behaviour to respect your choice whilst maintaining measurement capabilities in a privacy-compliant manner.
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the updated policy on our website and updating the "Last Updated" date.
