How do we use cookies?
We use cookies to track your use of our website. This enables us to understand how you use the site and track any patterns in how you are using our website. This helps us to develop and improve our website as well as our products and services in response to what you might need or want.
Before any non-essential cookies are set on your device, we will ask for your consent via our cookie banner. You can change your preferences at any time.

Session cookies: these are only stored on your browser during your web session and are automatically deleted when you close your browser. They usually store an anonymous session ID allowing you to browse a website without having to log in to each page but they do not collect any personal data from your computer.
Persistent cookies: a persistent cookie is stored in your browser and remains there when you close it. The cookie can be read by the website that created it when you visit that website again. We use persistent cookies for Google Analytics and Meta (Facebook).

Cookies can also be categorised as follows:
