1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or to work more efficiently, and to provide information to the website owner. Cookies can be "session cookies" (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent cookies" (stored on your device for a set period).

Under the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and EU GDPR, we are required to obtain your consent before placing any cookies on your device that are not strictly necessary for the service to function.

Strictly necessary cookies are placed on the basis of our legitimate interest in providing a secure and functional service, and do not require consent.

For California residents, our use of cookies does not constitute a "sale" or "sharing" of personal information under CCPA/CPRA, as we do not share cookie data with third parties for cross-context behavioural advertising.
