Cookie Policy

Last Updated: 24th June 2025

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use cookies and similar technologies on this website, and how you can manage your preferences.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files sent by your web browser from a website you visit. A cookie file is stored in your web browser and allows the website or a third-party to recognise you and make your next visit easier and the site more useful to you.

Cookies can be "persistent" or "session" cookies. Persistent cookies remain on your computer or mobile device when you go offline, while session cookies are deleted as soon as you close your web browser.

How We Use Cookies and Our Consent Management Platform

We use cookies and similar technologies for various purposes to ensure our website functions correctly, understand how visitors use our site, and improve user experience.

We utilise Usercentrics (via Wix's integrated solution) as our Consent Management Platform (CMP) to manage your cookie preferences. When you first visit our website, a cookie banner will appear, allowing you to give or withdraw consent for different categories of cookies.

The cookies and tracking technologies used on our website generally fall into the following categories:

Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are essential for the core functionality of our website (e.g., security, enabling proper navigation, remembering your cookie consent choices). They do not require your consent as they are necessary for the site to operate. Our Wix platform relies on these.
Performance and Analytics Cookies: These cookies collect anonymous or aggregated information about how visitors use our website, such as which pages are visited most often, the time spent on pages, and traffic sources. This helps us understand website usage patterns and improve the website's performance and content. This may include services like Wix's built-in analytics or Google Analytics.
Functional/Preference Cookies: These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalisation by remembering choices you make (e.g., language preferences, region).
Marketing/Targeting Cookies: If present, these cookies are used to track visitors across websites to display relevant advertisements. (Note: The presence of such cookies depends on any third-party services you embed or integrate, and Usercentrics will identify these).

Third-party cookies

In addition to our own cookies, various third-party cookies may be set by services or content embedded on our website. Our Usercentrics platform actively scans our site to identify these. Examples may include:

Wix (Platform Cookies): As our website platform, Wix uses cookies essential for the proper functioning, security, and analytics of the site.
Embedded Content: If we embed videos (e.g., from YouTube), social media feeds, or other content from third-party sites, those sites may set their own cookies.

Managing Your Cookie and Privacy Preferences

We use Usercentrics to provide you with granular control over your cookie preferences.

You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clicking the settings icon located in the bottom-left corner of the website. This will re-open the consent banner, allowing you to adjust your choices for different cookie categories.

Additionally, if you are a California resident, this same consent framework includes a 'Privacy Information' banner that provides a 'Do Not Sell My Personal Information' toggle. While this Cookie Policy specifically focuses on your cookie choices, your ability to exercise the 'Do Not Sell My Personal Information' right, as prompted by that banner, is also managed through the Usercentrics platform.

The Usercentrics platform automatically scans our website regularly to identify and categorise the cookies we use, ensuring that the detailed cookie list presented to you is current and transparent.

Browser Cookie Controls (Secondary Option)

While we recommend managing your preferences via our cookie banner for the best experience, you can also delete cookies or instruct your web browser to delete or refuse cookies through your browser settings. Please note, however, that if you delete cookies or refuse to accept them, some parts of our website might not function optimally, and some features may not display properly. For instructions on managing cookies in common browsers, please refer to:

For any other web browser, please consult your browser's official help pages.
