1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognise your browser on return visits and remember certain choices you have made.
Cookies do not contain executable code and cannot access other files on your device. Their primary purpose is to make your browsing experience more consistent and to help website operators understand how their pages are used.
2. Cookie Types We Use
Essential Cookies
Always active — required for basic site operation
These cookies are necessary for the website to function. They handle session continuity and basic security. They cannot be switched off because the site would not operate correctly without them.
Examples: session identifier, consent record, CSRF token
Analytics Cookies
Optional — helps us understand site usage
These cookies collect anonymised data about how visitors interact with our pages — which sections attract attention and where visitors tend to leave. The information helps us improve the structure and content of the site.
Examples: page views, session duration, traffic source
Marketing Cookies
Optional — used to measure reach
These cookies track whether visitors arrived via a particular channel or campaign. They do not build individual profiles. The data helps us understand which communication channels work and allocate resources appropriately.
Examples: referral source, campaign tag
Preference Cookies
Optional — remembers your settings
These cookies retain simple preferences — such as your language or region choice — so you do not have to re-enter them on each visit. They make repeated visits more comfortable without affecting your privacy in a meaningful way.
Examples: language selection, region preference
