Cookies Policy
A cookie is a small piece of data stored on your device by websites you visit to help identify you and remember your preferences. Cookies can be used for various purposes, such as tracking browsing behaviour or enhancing user experience.
We use cookies to make our website more interactive, efficient, and secure. Cookies allow us to:
Essential cookies are necessary for the proper functioning of our website and cannot be disabled if you wish to access certain features. These include session management, authentication, and authorisation cookies.
Session Cookies
Session cookies expire when you close your browser or at the end of a browsing session. They allow us to track your progress through pages without requiring persistent storage on your device.
Persistent cookies remain stored on your device for a longer period, ranging from several days to months or even years. We use these cookies for tracking purposes and enhancing user experience by remembering preferences across multiple sessions.
Functional cookies help us understand how users interact with our site, enabling us to refine its features and improve overall performance.
Analytics and Performance Cookies
We utilise analytics tools, including Google Analytics (see below), to collect information about website usage patterns. These cookies are used for analytical purposes only and do not personally identify individual visitors.
Cookies allow you to store your preferred language or region on our site. When we detect this stored preference during a new browsing session, the selected settings will be automatically applied.
Login/Session Continuity
Some types of cookies assist in maintaining an active login state across multiple pages within a single visit. This streamlines user navigation by ensuring you don't need to re-authenticate between sections.
Cookies enable us to recognize returning visitors and their devices, allowing for a more tailored experience based on your preferences stored from previous visits.
Security-Related Cookies
We employ various security-related cookies that help protect against malicious attempts to access user sessions or inject malware. These cookies are vital components of our security measures aimed at protecting both users and the platform itself.
Browsers like Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Apple Safari implement their own storage technologies (e.g., LocalStorage) for storing small pieces of data in a more structured way than traditional cookies.
Third-Party Integrations
Our site integrates third-party services that might set additional types of cookies not exclusively managed or described above. This is often due to partnerships with external providers offering complementary functionalities such as analytics, advertising, or content delivery networks (CDNs).
Cookies can be used by marketing partners to track user interactions and provide targeted advertisements based on browsing history and preferences.
Cookie Consent Management
We respect users' rights regarding cookie usage. Our site provides controls for managing cookies directly in your browser settings or through our dedicated cookie consent banner. These mechanisms offer clear options for you to decide which types of cookies are enabled, blocked, or deleted from your devices.
Almost every modern web browser comes with built-in cookie management tools that allow users to enable, disable, and delete these small data files according to their preferences.
Clearing or Disabling Cookies
If at any point you wish to clear or disable cookies stored on your device, the process varies between browsers but is straightforward. This may involve deleting individual entries from specific domains or opting for full browser clean-out based on user discretion.
While disabling all types of cookies will significantly reduce website functionality and personalisation features offered by our site, some critical functions might still remain accessible (e.g., secure login mechanisms).
Technical Diagnostics and Performance Optimisation
By examining aggregated analytics data collected via cookie tracking technologies, we can identify technical issues affecting user experience. This helps inform the continuous optimisation of our platform to ensure it remains efficient, responsive, and user-friendly.
Our site leverages third-party tools for web analytics. While no direct identification or personal data is involved in this process, aggregated browsing patterns enable us to refine overall user experience.
User Experience Improvements
Cookies allow us to remember your preferences across multiple sessions, ensuring that our content delivery and website design reflect what you find most engaging.
This Cookies Policy aims at providing comprehensive information about the cookie-related aspects of our platform. We strive for transparency in managing cookies to respect your autonomy over how these small files are used during each visit.
