Cookie Policy

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small data files stored or read by a browser. Comparable technologies may use local storage, pixels or identifiers to enable functions, remember choices, measure use or support security.

2. Categories

Strictly necessary technologies support core operation, security, consent records and form continuity. They may operate where required for the service.

Preference technologies remember selected settings. Analytics technologies help understand aggregate website use. Marketing technologies, if introduced, support campaign measurement or relevant communication and should not operate before the required choice.

3. Consent and control

Where required, non-essential technologies are disabled until the visitor provides an appropriate choice. Consent should be granular enough for the categories in use and can be withdrawn through the website preference control.

Browser settings may also block or delete cookies, but doing so can affect functions that depend on them.

4. Current implementation

The website should maintain an up-to-date cookie inventory in its consent system identifying provider, purpose and duration. Technologies not genuinely used should not be listed merely to make the policy appear comprehensive.
