What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to website owners about user behaviour and preferences.

Cookies can be "persistent" (remaining on your device until deleted or expired) or "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser). They may be "first-party" (set by the website you're visiting) or "third-party" (set by a different domain).

  • Ensure our website functions properly and securely
  • Remember your preferences and settings
  • Analyse website traffic and user behaviour to improve our services
  • Provide personalised content and advertisements
  • Measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns
  • Enable social media features and functionality

Types of Cookies We Use

1. Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to function properly. They enable basic features like page navigation, access to secure areas, and form submissions. The website cannot function properly without these cookies.

2. Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. We use Google Analytics to gather insights about website usage, popular pages, and user behaviour patterns.
