1. What are cookies and similar technologies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They can help a website function properly, remember preferences, support security, improve performance, and enhance user experience.

We may also use similar technologies, including local storage, session storage, scripts, tags, and related browser-based technologies that store information on, or access information from, your device.

2. Why we use them

We may use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:

• to keep the website working properly;
• to support security, spam prevention, and abuse protection;
• to remember preferences or settings, including language preferences;
• to improve website performance and user experience; and
• to understand how visitors use the website, where analytics tools are active and consent has been given where required.

3. Types of cookies and similar technologies we may use

a) Strictly necessary cookies and technologies

These are used to support core website functions such as page delivery, security, spam prevention, session handling, cache management, and similar essential technical operations.

For example, caching tools may use technical cookies to help the website deliver the correct cached version of a page. Where LiteSpeed Cache is active, this may include the _lscache_vary cookie or similar cache-related functionality.

b) Functional cookies and technologies

These help remember preferences or improve the way the website behaves for visitors, for example language, layout, or display-related settings.

Where GTranslate or similar language tools are active, this may include a language preference cookie such as googtrans to remember the language you selected.

c) Analytics and performance cookies and technologies

These help us understand how visitors use the website, which pages perform well, and where improvements may be needed.

If analytics tools are active on the website, the relevant cookies or similar technologies will only be used where required legal consent has been obtained.

d) Third-party embedded and support technologies

If the website uses embedded tools, social integrations, maps, media, or similar third-party features, those tools may place or access cookies or similar technologies depending on how they are configured.

4. Consent

We will ask for your consent before setting non-essential cookies or similar technologies where required by law.

Strictly necessary cookies and similar technologies may be used without consent where they are genuinely required for the operation, security, or core functionality of the website.

5. Third-party providers

Some cookies or similar technologies may be set or accessed by third-party providers whose services are used on our website, for example hosting, caching, translation, analytics, spam protection, or embedded content providers.

Where third-party services are active, they may process information under their own systems and privacy policies as well as ours.

6. Duration

Some cookies are session-based and expire when you close your browser. Others may remain on your device for longer until they expire automatically or are deleted by you.

The duration of a cookie or similar technology depends on its purpose and the way the relevant tool or provider is configured.

7. How to manage cookies and similar technologies

You may be able to manage or limit cookies and similar technologies through:

• any cookie banner, consent tool, or preference controls available on the website;
• your browser settings;
• device-level privacy controls; and
• settings provided by relevant third-party services, where applicable.

Please note that blocking or deleting certain cookies or similar technologies may affect how some parts of the website work.

8. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Cookies & Similar Technologies Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the website, our providers, our tools, or legal requirements.

The latest version will always be published on this page with the updated date shown at the top.
