Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow a site to remember actions and preferences over time, or to recognise your device for functional and analytical purposes.
2. How we use cookies
We use a limited set of cookies grouped into three categories: essential cookies required for the site to function, analytics cookies that help us understand how visitors use the site, and functional cookies that remember preferences such as your cookie consent choice. Analytics and functional cookies are only set with your consent, which you can manage through the cookie banner shown on your first visit or via the preferences control described below.
