Cookie Policy
Last updated: 2 May 2025
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They allow the site to remember certain information about your visit — for example, whether you have already seen a notice — so you are not presented with the same information repeatedly.
Cookies do not give us access to your computer or device, and they do not contain personal information unless you have provided that information to us separately. You may set your browser to refuse cookies; see Section 6 for guidance.
2. Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website to function. They cannot be disabled. They are used for tasks such as remembering your cookie preferences so you are not shown the consent notice on every page.
Analytics Cookies
These optional cookies help us understand how visitors use our site — which pages are visited most often, how long people spend reading particular sections, and how they arrive. This information helps us improve the clarity and usefulness of our content. We use Google Analytics 4 for this purpose.
Marketing Cookies
These optional cookies are used by advertising platforms to understand whether our website content reached people who may have an interest in our programmes. We use the Meta (Facebook) Pixel and Bing Ads for this purpose. These platforms may combine information from our site with information they hold about you from other sources.
Preference Cookies
These optional cookies allow the site to remember choices you have made — such as display preferences — so you do not need to reset them on each visit. We use only minimal preference storage at this time.
3. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on our site are placed by third-party services we use. These services operate under their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to read:
- Google Analytics — Google Privacy Policy
- Meta (Facebook) Pixel — Meta Privacy Policy
- Microsoft Bing Ads — Microsoft Privacy Statement
- Google Maps — used on our homepage to display our location. Google may set cookies when the map is loaded. These are governed by Google's own policies.
4. Cookie Duration
Cookies fall into two broad categories by duration:
- Session cookies — these exist only for the duration of your browser session and are deleted when you close the browser tab or window.
- Persistent cookies — these remain on your device after the session ends, until they reach their expiry date or you delete them manually. Specific durations are noted in the table in Section 2.
5. Your Cookie Preferences
You may update your preferences at any time using the controls below. Essential cookies cannot be disabled as they are required for the site to function. Changes take effect immediately and are saved to your browser.
6. Managing Cookies in Your Browser
In addition to the controls above, all modern browsers allow you to manage cookies directly. Select your browser below for guidance.
Please note that blocking or deleting cookies may affect the appearance or functionality of some websites, including ours.
7. Your Rights
You have the right to withdraw or change your consent to optional cookies at any time by using the preference controls in Section 5 above or by adjusting your browser settings as described in Section 6.
Withdrawing consent to analytics or marketing cookies will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before the withdrawal. It will, however, mean that we can no longer recognise your previous visits through those services.
If you have questions about how we use cookies or about your personal data more broadly, please refer to our Privacy Policy or write to us at [email protected].
