1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit. They are widely used to make websites work correctly and efficiently. Cookies cannot run programmes or deliver viruses to your device; they simply contain a small amount of text data.

We use only strictly necessary and functional cookies — those required for the website to operate correctly. These cookies do not identify you personally.

4. Cookies We Do Not Use
To be clear, this website does not use:

5. Third-Party Cookies
We do not intentionally embed third-party content (such as embedded videos, social media feeds, or advertisement widgets) that would set third-party cookies on your device.
Google Fonts: This website loads fonts from Google’s font delivery network. When your browser fetches a font file, a connection is made to Google’s servers. Google states that it does not use font requests to track individual users or build advertising profiles. See Google’s Privacy Policy for details. This connection does not set a persistent cookie on your device.
6. How to Manage and Delete Cookies

Via your browser settings — All major browsers allow you to view, block, or delete cookies:
- Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data
- Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies

Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect how this website displays or functions.
Via browser extensions — Tools such as Privacy Badger, uBlock Origin, or Cookie AutoDelete can give you greater control over cookies across all websites you visit.
7. Consent
Because we use only strictly necessary and functional cookies — and no tracking, analytics, or advertising cookies — we do not display a cookie consent banner. Under the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and EU ePrivacy Directive, consent is not required for cookies that are strictly necessary for the service requested.
If we ever introduce non-essential cookies in the future, we will update this policy and introduce an appropriate consent mechanism before doing so.
8. Your Rights
If you are in the UK or EEA, you have rights over your personal data under the UK GDPR and EU GDPR. As cookies on this site do not collect personal data identifying you as an individual, most of these rights are not applicable. However, if you have any concern, please contact us.
For complaints, you may also contact:
- UK: Information Commissioner’s Office — ico.org.uk
- EU: Your national data protection supervisory authority
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookies Policy if we change the cookies or third-party services we use. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last updated” date. We encourage you to check this page periodically.
