What is a Cookie?
A cookie is a small piece of data (a text file) that a website stores on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit it. Cookies are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better browsing experience, and supply information to the owners of the site.
Cookies can be “persistent” or “session” cookies. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period of time or until you delete them manually. Session cookies are temporary and are deleted from your device when you close your web browser.
Cookie Types
Essential (Necessary) Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function properly. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and account access. You cannot opt out of these cookies as the website cannot function properly without them.
Performance (Analytics) Cookies
Performance cookies collect information about how visitors use our website, such as which pages are visited most often and whether users receive error messages. These cookies do not collect information that identifies individual visitors. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous. We use this data solely to improve how our website works.
Functionality Cookies
Functionality cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your username, language, or region) and provide enhanced, more personalised features. These cookies may also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts, and other customisable parts of web pages.
Targeting / Advertising Cookies
These cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as to help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They are usually placed by advertising networks with the website operator’s permission. They remember that you have visited a website, and this information is shared with other organisations such as advertisers.

These third parties include Google (for analytics and reCAPTCHA) and YouTube (for embedded video content). We do not control the cookies set by these third parties.
