1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies can include scripts, tags, pixels, local storage and other tools that store or access information on your browser or device.

They can be used for different purposes, including helping a website function properly, improving security, remembering your preferences, understanding how visitors use a site, and improving performance.

2. How we use cookies and similar technologies

We may use cookies and similar technologies to:

• make the website work properly;

• keep the website secure and reliable;

• remember user preferences and settings;

• measure website traffic and performance using Google Analytics 4;

• understand clicks, scrolling, navigation and other interactions using Microsoft Clarity;

• improve website functionality, content and user experience; and

• generate analytics, heatmaps and session recordings to improve content and user experience.

We do not use these technologies to sell personal data or for behavioural advertising or retargeting.

3. Types of cookies we may use

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are required for the website to function properly or securely.

They may be used for purposes such as:

• maintaining site security;

• enabling core page functionality;

• remembering cookie preferences;

• supporting load balancing or technical delivery;

• preventing abuse, fraud or malicious traffic.

These cookies do not usually require consent where they are strictly necessary for the service requested.

Analytics and performance cookies

These cookies and similar technologies help us understand how visitors use the website. We use Google Analytics 4 for traffic and performance reporting and Microsoft Clarity for interaction analytics, heatmaps and session recordings.

They may be used to help us improve:

• website structure;

• navigation;

• content effectiveness;

• user experience; and

• technical performance.

These technologies are non-essential and, where consent is required, their cookies are not set until you have made the relevant choice.

Functional cookies

These cookies may remember settings or choices you make, such as language preferences, cookie settings or other website preferences.

Where these are not strictly necessary, we will seek consent where required.

Behavioural measurement and session replay

We use Microsoft Clarity to understand how users interact with the website, including clicks, page flow, time on page, scrolling, mouse movements and technical performance. Clarity may generate heatmaps and session recordings.

Clarity is treated as analytics, not advertising. Sensitive form input, numbers and email addresses are masked by default. Clarity cookies are not set until analytics consent is granted; limited cookieless measurement may occur if configured when consent is denied.

4. Legal basis for our use of cookies

Where cookies or similar technologies are strictly necessary to provide the website or a service you request, we may use them without consent where permitted by applicable law.

Where cookies or similar technologies are used for analytics, behavioural measurement, optimisation or other non-essential purposes, we will rely on consent where consent is required.

5. Consent and cookie controls

Where non-essential cookies are used, we provide a clear cookie choice mechanism.

This means:

• non-essential cookies are not set before the relevant consent is given;

• users should be able to accept or reject non-essential cookies;

• users should be able to withdraw or change their preferences later; and

• records of cookie choices may be kept where reasonably necessary to demonstrate compliance.

You can also control cookies through your browser settings, although blocking some cookies may affect how the website functions.

6. Third-party cookies and tools

We use third-party providers for analytics, interaction measurement, website security and consent management.

Where such providers place or access cookies or similar technologies through our website, non-essential technologies are subject to the consent choices available on the website.

Google Analytics 4

Google Analytics 4, provided by Google, uses first-party cookies to distinguish users and sessions and to produce aggregated reports about traffic, browser and device information, approximate location and interactions. We do not use GA4 advertising audiences on this website unless this policy and the consent choices are updated.

Microsoft Clarity

Microsoft Clarity uses pseudonymous identifiers and interaction data to provide analytics, heatmaps and session recordings. It may process page, device, diagnostic and interaction information. We do not currently use Clarity for advertising or retargeting.

Current cookie inventory

• _ga - Google Analytics - distinguishes visitors for analytics reporting - Analytics - up to 2 years.

• _ga_<container-id> - Google Analytics - preserves session state; the suffix is specific to our GA4 configuration - Analytics - up to 2 years.

• _clck - Microsoft Clarity - persists a pseudonymous user ID and preferences for this website - Analytics - up to 1 year.

• _clsk - Microsoft Clarity - connects page views into a single session recording - Analytics - up to 1 day.

• Consent-preference cookie - our consent-management provider - remembers your cookie choices - Strictly necessary - the name and duration are shown in the website preference centre.

If you follow a link from our website to a third-party site, that site may use its own cookies and similar technologies. We are not responsible for third-party cookie practices.

7. International transfers

Because this website may operate across the United Kingdom and the European Economic Area, and because providers including Google and Microsoft may process information outside those regions, information collected through cookies or similar technologies may be processed internationally.

Where personal data collected through cookies is transferred internationally, appropriate safeguards will be used where required under applicable law.

8. How long cookies remain on your device

Some cookies are session cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser.

Others are persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a longer period or until you delete them.

Typical durations for the current cookies are listed above. Browser settings and provider updates may shorten or otherwise change those periods.

9. Managing cookies

You can manage cookies in several ways:

• through any cookie banner or preference centre we make available;

• through your browser settings;

• by deleting existing cookies from your device; or

• by using browser controls to block certain categories of cookies.

Please note that disabling strictly necessary cookies may affect the availability, security or performance of the website.

10. Changes to this Cookies Policy

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect legal, technical, operational or business changes.

The latest version published on this website will apply from the date shown at the top of the policy.
