Last Updated: July 25, 2025
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, smartphone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site. They enable a website to recognize your device and remember your preferences (like your cookie consent choice) over a period of time. Cookies play a crucial role in the modern web, enabling personalized experiences and providing valuable data for website improvement.
2. How We Use Cookies
Our website uses the following categories of cookies for the purposes set out below:
- Essential Cookies: These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences via our cookie banner. They do not store any personally identifiable information and are crucial for the basic operation and security of our site.
- Analytical/Performance Cookies: These cookies, provided by services like Google Analytics, allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore completely anonymous. We will only use these cookies if you give your explicit consent by clicking "Accept".
- Marketing Cookies: These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners, such as Google and Microsoft. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other sites. They do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising. We will only use these cookies if you give your explicit consent by clicking "Accept".
3. Your Right to Refuse and Comprehensive Opt-Out Instructions
You have complete control over the use of cookies on our site. We respect your right to privacy and your decision not to be tracked. We provide several clear methods for you to manage your preferences and opt-out of non-essential data collection.
- Primary Opt-Out via Cookie Consent Banner: Your primary tool for control is our cookie banner. When you first visit our site, you will be presented with two clear options:
- **Accept:** By clicking this, you agree to the use of all cookies, including essential, analytical, and marketing cookies.
- **Decline:** By clicking this, you **opt-out** of all non-essential cookies. Only the strictly necessary cookies required for site functionality will be used. No analytical or marketing data will be collected from your visit. Your choice is saved, and we will not ask you again on subsequent visits from the same device unless you clear your cookies.
- Managing Cookies Through Your Browser: You can also manage cookies directly in your browser settings. You can set your browser to refuse cookies or delete certain cookies. Please note that if you choose to block cookies, your experience on our Site may be impaired. Find out how on popular browsers:
- Opting-Out of Third-Party Advertising Networks: You can also opt-out of interest-based advertising from our partners by visiting their respective opt-out pages, such as the Google Ad Settings page and the Microsoft Advertising Opt-Out page. Additionally, you can use industry-wide opt-out tools like the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) Webchoices tool.
- Withdrawing Consent: If you have previously given your consent by clicking "Accept," you can withdraw it at any time. The easiest way to do this is by clearing your browser's cookies for our site. The consent banner will then reappear on your next visit, allowing you to make a new selection, such as "Decline".
