1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that a website places in your browser when you visit. They are widely used to make websites work correctly, remember your preferences, and give website owners basic information about how their sites are being used.
Cookies do not typically contain information that personally identifies you. However, personal data that we hold about you may be linked to cookie identifiers in some cases.
There are different categories of cookie based on their purpose and duration:
- Session cookies are temporary and deleted when you close your browser
- Persistent cookies remain in your browser for a set period or until you delete them
- First-party cookies are set directly by our website
- Third-party cookies are set by external services we use (such as analytics tools)
2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for three purposes, each described below.
Essential cookies
These are necessary for the website to function. They enable core features such as remembering your cookie consent choice. Without these cookies, certain parts of the website would not operate correctly. Because they are necessary, they do not require your consent.
Analytics cookies
These help us understand how visitors use our website — for example, which pages are most visited and how people navigate through the site. This information is reviewed in aggregate and helps us improve the experience for future visitors. Analytics cookies are only placed with your consent.
Marketing cookies
These allow us to understand whether visitors arrived through an advertisement and to measure the effectiveness of any paid campaigns we may run. Marketing cookies are only placed with your consent, and we only use them where we have active advertising.
