8. Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure.

However, no website or method of electronic transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of information sent over the internet.

Cookie Policy

11. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your computer, tablet or mobile device when you visit a website. They allow a website to function correctly, remember certain preferences and provide information about how the website is used.

Similar technologies, including pixels, tags and local storage, may perform comparable functions. References to cookies in this policy include these technologies where applicable.

12. Cookies we may use

The website may use the following categories of cookies:

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are required for the website to operate securely and correctly. They may support security, network management, accessibility and remembering your cookie-consent choice.

Strictly necessary cookies cannot generally be disabled, as they are required for the website to function.

Analytics cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the website, including which pages are visited and how visitors move around the site. We use this information to monitor performance and improve the website.

Analytics cookies will only be activated where you have provided consent when this is required by applicable law.

Functional cookies may remember choices such as language, location or display preferences and provide enhanced website functionality.

Marketing and third-party cookies

If the website includes embedded content, social-media functionality or advertising technology, the relevant third parties may place cookies or collect information about your interaction with that content.

These cookies will not be activated before you provide consent where consent is legally required.

The website does not currently use analytics, functional or marketing cookies. If any are introduced in future, further details—including their provider, purpose, category and duration—will be made available at that time.
