Cookie Policy
Last updated: 14 March 2025 | Effective: 14 March 2025
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which cookies this website places on your device, and how you can manage or remove them. If you have questions about how we handle your personal data more broadly, please also read our Privacy Policy.
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow a website to recognise your device on subsequent visits, remember certain preferences, and gather information about how the site is used.
Cookies are widely used across the internet. Some are essential for a website to function, while others are used to understand how visitors move through a site or to support certain features. You have choices about how cookies are stored on your device, which we describe in Section 6 of this policy.
2. Types of Cookies We Use
We use four categories of cookie on this website. Below is a summary of each category and its purpose.
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are required for the website to function. Without them, services such as the contact form and cookie preference memory would not work. These cookies do not collect any information that could be used to identify or track you across other websites, and they cannot be switched off.
Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website — which pages are visited most often, where visitors come from, and how they move through the site. We use this information to improve the content and structure of our pages. Data gathered through analytics cookies is aggregated and does not identify individual visitors.
Marketing Cookies
These cookies record that you have visited our website and allow us, through third-party advertising platforms, to show relevant content to people who have previously expressed interest in our programmes. We do not use marketing cookies to build detailed personal profiles or to share data with unrelated third parties.
Preference Cookies
These cookies remember choices you have made on this website, such as your cookie consent preferences. They allow the website to avoid asking the same questions each time you return.

4. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on this website are set by third parties whose services we use. These include:
- Google Analytics — used to understand how our website is used at an aggregate level. Google's privacy and cookie practices are described at policies.google.com/privacy.
- Meta Pixel — used to measure whether visitors to our website subsequently interact with our content on Meta platforms. Meta's cookie practices are described at facebook.com/policies/cookies.
- Microsoft Bing Ads — used to understand whether visitors arrive via Bing search advertising. Microsoft's privacy documentation is available at privacy.microsoft.com.
- Google Maps — the embedded map on our homepage may set cookies related to the Maps service. These are governed by Google's privacy policy above.
We do not sell data collected through cookies to any third party, and we do not permit third-party services to use data gathered on our site for their own advertising purposes beyond what is described above.
5. Legal Basis for Cookie Use
Strictly necessary cookies are placed on the basis of our legitimate interest in operating a functioning website. All other cookie categories are placed only with your consent, which you provide through the cookie preference banner when you first visit the site. You may withdraw consent at any time by adjusting your preferences as described in Section 6.
6. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You have several ways to manage cookies:
Through our cookie banner
When you first visit this site, a preference banner allows you to accept or decline non-essential cookie categories. Your selection is remembered for 12 months.
Through opt-out tools
Google Analytics offers a browser opt-out extension at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. Your Ad Choices is available at youronlinechoices.com for marketing cookies from participating networks.
7. Changes to This Policy
We review this Cookie Policy periodically and will update it if our practices change or if new legal requirements apply. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last revised. We encourage you to check back from time to time.
