This website uses cookies and similar technologies to make the website work, keep it secure, remember your preferences and, where you consent, help us understand how visitors use the site. Under PECR, organisations must provide clear information about cookies and similar technologies, and non-essential cookies such as analytics cookies generally require consent.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies can include scripts, pixels, local storage and other technologies used to store or access information on your device. The ICO confirms PECR applies not only to cookies but also to similar technologies.

How we use cookies

We may use the following categories of cookies:

1.  Strictly necessary cookies

These are essential for the operation, security and core functionality of the website. They may include cookies used to:

  • remember your cookie preferences;
  • maintain website security;
  • protect forms from spam or abuse;
  • enable basic page functionality.

These cookies do not require consent where they are strictly necessary.

2.  Analytics cookies

These help us understand how visitors use the site, such as which pages are visited and how users move around the website. We will only set analytics cookies if you choose to accept them. The ICO’s current guidance says analytics cookies do not fall within the strictly necessary exemption and require consent.

If enabled, analytics cookies may be provided by services such as:

  • Google Analytics or equivalent analytics tools.

3.  Functional cookies

These may remember choices you make, such as accessibility or interface preferences. We will ask for consent where these are not strictly necessary.

4.  Third-party cookies

Some content or services on the website may be provided by third parties, such as maps, videos, chat tools or analytics providers. Those third parties may place cookies or access information on your device if you consent where required.
