What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They allow the website to remember information about your visit — for example, whether you have seen a cookie notice, or how you navigated through the site. Cookies are used by almost all websites and are a standard part of how the web works.
Similar technologies include local storage, session storage and pixel tags, which work in comparable ways. References to "cookies" in this policy include these related technologies where relevant.
What Cookies We Use
We use a small number of cookies on this website. They fall into three categories:
Necessary Cookies
These cookies are required for the website to function correctly. They include the cookie that remembers whether you have acknowledged the cookie notice on this site. Without these cookies, some parts of the website may not work as expected. You cannot opt out of necessary cookies while continuing to use the site.

Analytics Cookies
We use analytics tools to help us understand how visitors use our website — for example, which pages are visited most often and how people navigate between them. This information is used only to improve the website. Analytics data is aggregated and does not identify individual visitors.

Marketing Cookies
We use pixel-based tracking to measure the effectiveness of any digital advertising we run. These tools do not identify you by name, but they help us understand whether people who see our advertisements subsequently visit our website. If you have declined marketing cookies, you may still see our advertisements, but they will not be tailored based on your prior visits to this site.

Your Choices
When you first visit this website, a notice at the bottom of the screen gives you the option to accept or decline non-necessary cookies. Your choice is recorded and applied to your subsequent visits from the same browser and device.
You can change your preference at any time by clearing your browser's cookies and revisiting the site, at which point the notice will appear again.
You may also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse all cookies, accept only certain types, or delete cookies that have already been set. The steps for doing this vary by browser; your browser's help function will provide guidance. Please note that refusing certain cookies may affect the functionality of this and other websites.
For information about opting out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites, you may wish to install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
Third-Party Cookies
Some of the cookies described above are set by third-party services (Google, Meta, Microsoft). These services have their own privacy and cookie policies, over which we have no control. We recommend reviewing those policies if you would like to understand how those services use data collected through their cookies:
