In the table below, you will find detailed information about each cookie category, its purpose, and its retention period. We are committed to respecting your privacy and providing transparency about the data we collect through cookies.
Types of Cookies We Use
We use several categories of cookies. Essential cookies keep the website functioning correctly. Therefore, we cannot disable them without breaking core features. Performance and analytics cookies help us measure how visitors use the site, and they let us identify pages that need improvement. In addition, marketing cookies, where present, help us show relevant content and measure the effectiveness of our campaigns. You can review and adjust most of these preferences using the cookie settings tool below.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
Most browsers let you control cookies through their own settings, and you can usually block or delete cookies at any time. However, disabling essential cookies may affect how parts of our website work. For general, independent guidance on how cookies work and how to manage them across different browsers, see All About Cookies.

The interactive table below breaks down each cookie by name, provider, purpose, and expiry period, so you can see exactly what runs on our site. If anything is unclear, our team is happy to walk you through it, and you can also review our Privacy Policy for more detail on how we handle personal data generally.
