1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help with login, security, analytics, and service performance.
2. Session and persistent cookies
Session cookies
Session cookies let the site recognise and link your actions during a single browsing session. They are typically used for purposes such as remembering what you put in a basket while you browse. Session cookies often store an identifier so you can move from page to page without re-entering your username, password, etc. They last only for that session and are deleted when you close the browser or app.
Persistent cookies
Persistent cookies are stored across sessions and can remember your preferences or actions on a site (or across sites)βfor example language, theme, menu preferences, or favourite pages. We use them only where you have consented or where they are strictly necessary for the service you requested.
3. Cookie categories we use
- Strictly necessary cookies: required for core functionality such as login, session handling, and security.
- Preference cookies: remember settings (for example display choices).
- Analytics cookies: help us understand usage and improve product experience.
- Marketing cookies: measure campaign performance and ad interactions, where consent is provided.

We do not set non-essential cookies until you have given your consent.
