What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to the owners of the site. Cookies allow web applications to respond to you as an individual by gathering and remembering information about your preferences.

Cookies can be "persistent" or "session" cookies. Persistent cookies remain on your personal computer or mobile device when you go offline, while session cookies are deleted as soon as you close your web browser. Cookies can also be first-party cookies (set by the website you are visiting) or third-party cookies (set by a party other than the website you are visiting).

How We Use Cookies

When you visit our website, we may place cookies on your device to help us understand how visitors use our site and to improve your browsing experience. We use cookies for several purposes, including:

Essential Cookies: These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly. They enable basic functions like page navigation, secure areas access, and remembering your cookie preferences. The website cannot function properly without these cookies, and they can only be disabled by changing your browser preferences.

Performance Cookies: These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. They help us improve how our website works by allowing us to see which pages are most and least popular and how visitors move around the site.

Functionality Cookies: These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalisation. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly.

Targeting Cookies: These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites. They do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device.

Types of Cookies We Use

Below is a detailed list of the cookies we use on our website and what they are used for:

Strictly Necessary Cookies

• Session ID: This cookie is essential for the website to function and is used to maintain your session while browsing. It expires when you close your browser.
• Cookie Consent: This cookie remembers whether you have accepted or declined cookies on our website. It expires after 12 months.
• Security Token: This cookie helps protect against cross-site request forgery attacks. It expires when you close your browser.

Performance Cookies

• Analytics: We may use analytics services to help us understand how our website is being used. These cookies collect information about your use of our website, including which pages you visit most often and whether you receive error messages from certain pages.
• Load Balancing: These cookies ensure that requests are distributed evenly across our servers, improving the website performance and user experience.

Functionality Cookies

• User Preferences: These cookies remember choices you make such as your username, language, or the region you are in, and provide enhanced, more personal features.

Third-Party Cookies

In addition to our own cookies, we may also use various third-party cookies to report usage statistics of our website and to improve our services. Third-party cookies are cookies that are set by a domain other than the one you are visiting.

We use Google Maps to display our location on our contact page. Google may set cookies on your device to track your use of their services. You can find more information about how Google uses cookies in their privacy policy.

We load fonts from Google Fonts, which may result in cookies being set on your device. We also use Font Awesome for icons, which similarly may set cookies.

Managing Cookies

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings preferences. However, if you limit the ability of websites to set cookies, you may worsen your overall user experience, since it will no longer be personalised to you. It may also stop you from saving customised settings like login information.

You can manage cookies in your browser settings. Here are links to instructions for common browsers:

• Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and other site data
• Mozilla Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data
• Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data
• Microsoft Edge: Settings > Cookies and Site Permissions > Cookies and site data
• Internet Explorer: Tools > Internet Options > Privacy > Advanced

Opting Out of Cookies

You can choose to opt out of cookies at any time by adjusting your browser settings to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent. If you choose to disable cookies, please note that some parts of our website may not function properly or may become inaccessible.

You can also use our cookie consent banner that appears when you first visit our website to accept or decline non-essential cookies. Your choice will be remembered for future visits.

To opt out of being tracked by analytics across all websites, you can install browser add-ons that block tracking scripts.

Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" feature that signals to websites that you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. Tracking is not the same as using or collecting information in connection with a website. For these purposes, tracking refers to collecting personally identifiable information from consumers who use or visit a website or online service as they move across different websites over time.

Our website does not currently respond to "Do Not Track" signals. However, we are committed to providing you with meaningful choices about the information collected on our website for third-party purposes, and that is why we provide the cookie consent mechanism described above.

Changes to This Cookies Policy

We may update our Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, regulation, our business operations, or any other reason we determine is necessary or appropriate. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Cookies Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date.

We encourage you to periodically review this page for the latest information on our cookie practices. Your continued use of our website after any changes or revisions to this Cookies Policy shall indicate your agreement with the terms of such revised Cookies Policy.
