2.4 Marketing Cookies
These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners. They may be used to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other sites. They do not directly store personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device.

In addition to our own cookies, we may also use various third-party cookies to report usage statistics of the website and deliver advertisements on and through the website. These third parties have their own privacy policies addressing how they use such information.
5. Managing Cookies
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings preferences. However, if you limit the ability of websites to set cookies, you may worsen your overall user experience, as it will no longer be personalised to you.
5.1 Browser Settings
You can manage cookies through your browser settings. The following links provide information on how to do this for common browsers:
- Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies and other site data
- Mozilla Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Cookies and website data
- Microsoft Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Cookies and site data
5.2 Our Cookie Banner
When you first visit our website, you will see a cookie banner that allows you to accept or reject non-essential cookies. Your preference will be stored so you will not be asked again during subsequent visits, unless you clear your cookies or use a different browser.
6. Local Storage
In addition to cookies, we may use local storage technology to store information on your device. Local storage is similar to cookies but can store larger amounts of data. We use local storage to remember your cookie consent preferences and form selections.
7. Do Not Track
Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" feature that signals to websites that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. Because there is no common standard for how to interpret Do Not Track signals, our website does not currently respond to such signals.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legislation, or our data practices. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
