1) What are cookies (and similar tech)?

  • Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website.

  • Similar technologies include local storage, pixels, SDKs, and device identifiers.

  • They help sites work, stay secure, remember preferences, and measure performance.

 

2) How we use them

We use cookies and similar tech to:

  • Make the site work (log in, load pages, keep your session).

  • Secure the platform (fraud prevention, rate limiting).

  • Remember choices (language, cookie consent).

  • Measure performance (aggregate analytics to improve features).

  • Personalize and market (only with consent where required).

 

3) Categories of cookies

  1. Strictly Necessary – required for core functionality and security. (Consent not required under PECR.)

  2. Performance / Analytics – help us understand how the site is used. (Consent required.)

  3. Functionality – remember preferences and enhance features. (Consent required if non-essential.)

  4. Advertising / Targeting – measure campaigns and show relevant content. (Consent required.)

  5. Security / Fraud Prevention – detect abuse, protect accounts and payments. (Consent may not be required when strictly necessary.)

 

4) Examples of cookies we may set

Note: Exact cookies depend on the features you use. Replace or update names/providers as your stack changes.

5) Third-party cookies & pixels

Some pages may load cookies, pixels, or SDKs from third parties (e.g., analytics, security/CDN, payment processors, social or marketing tools). These third parties are responsible for their technologies and may act as independent controllers. Please review their policies. Where required, we will only load them after you consent via our banner/preferences.

 

6) Your choices & controls

  • Banner / Preferences: Use our cookie banner or “Manage Cookies” link (typically in the footer) to accept all, reject non-essential, or customize categories. You can withdraw consent at any time.

  • Browser settings: You can block or delete cookies via your browser. This may affect site functionality (especially strictly necessary cookies).

  • Mobile OS: iOS/Android provide ad-tracking and permission controls in system settings.

  • Do Not Track: Our site currently does not respond to DNT signals; use the options above to control cookies.

 

7) Legal bases (UK/EU)

  • Strictly necessary cookies: processed under legitimate interests (to provide a secure, functional service) and/or contract.

  • All other cookies (analytics, functionality beyond essentials, advertising): processed based on your consent collected through our banner/preferences tool.

 

8) Retention

  • Session cookies expire when you close your browser.

  • Persistent cookies last from 30 minutes up to 13 months (EU/UK norm for analytics/advertising) unless you delete them sooner.

  • We may store related preference data server-side for similar periods.

 

9) International transfers

Where third-party providers process cookie-derived data outside the UK/EEA, we rely on adequacy decisions and/or approved safeguards (e.g., SCCs/IDTA), plus additional technical and organizational measures where appropriate.

 

10) Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookies Policy to reflect changes in technology, law, or our services. We’ll update the “Last updated” date and, where required, request consent again for material changes.
