Cookie Policy

 

This document is to be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use.

In this policy, we use the term “cookies” to refer to cookies and similar technologies used on our website.

What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your computer, tablet or mobile device when you visit it. Cookies allow the website to recognise your device and remember your actions or preferences over time (for example, language choice or items in a form).

Most internet browsers support cookies and also allow you to block or delete them using your browser settings. If you choose to block certain cookies, some parts of our website may not function properly.

Why do we use cookies?

We use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:

1. Necessary cookies (always on)

These cookies are required for the basic operation and security of our website. They help to:

  • Enable core site functionality and keep you connected to the right part of the site.

  • Remember your privacy and cookie preferences.

  • Support security features and help us prevent fraud and misuse of our services (for example, by helping to protect forms against malicious activity such as cross‑site request forgery or automated spam).

Because the site cannot function properly without these cookies, you cannot switch them off in our cookie banner. You can still block them in your browser, but parts of the site may then not work correctly.
2. Performance and analytics cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors use our website so we can improve it over time. We use Google Analytics for this purpose.

Google Analytics cookies collect information such as which pages are visited, how long visitors stay, which links are clicked and approximate geographic location (based on IP address). We use this information in aggregated form to analyse trends and improve the content and performance of our site; we do not use Google Analytics to identify individual visitors.

We use performance and analytics cookies only with your consent. If you turn this category off in the cookie settings, we will not use Google Analytics for your visit.

3. Advertising cookies

We use advertising cookies to make our marketing more relevant and to measure the effectiveness of our campaigns. Specifically, we use:

  • Google Ads cookies to help show our adverts to people who are more likely to be interested in our services and to measure conversions from our ads.

  • LinkedIn Ads cookies (LinkedIn Insight Tag) to understand how visitors interact with our LinkedIn ads and to build anonymised, aggregated reports on campaign performance and website conversions.

These cookies may track your browsing behaviour across different websites or services and may be used by Google and LinkedIn to build interest profiles and show you personalised ads on their platforms and elsewhere.

We use advertising cookies only with your consent. If you turn this category off in the cookie settings, we will not use Google Ads or LinkedIn Ads cookies on your device for personalised advertising, although you may still see generic ads.

International transfers

Because we use providers such as Squarespace, Google and LinkedIn, information generated by cookies may be transferred to and processed in countries outside the EEA, including the United States. Where this involves personal data, we rely on appropriate safeguards (such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses or other lawful transfer mechanisms) to ensure your data remains protected.

Your choices

When you first visit our website, you can choose which categories of cookies (apart from those that are strictly necessary) you agree to via our cookie banner. You can change your preferences at any time by reopening the “Manage Cookies” panel on our site and adjusting the sliders for each category, or by changing your browser settings.

Please note that blocking some types of cookies, especially Necessary cookies, may impact your experience of the site, and some features may not function properly.

Personal data and your rights

Where cookies collect information that identifies you or can be linked to you (for example, IP address or online identifiers), this is treated as personal data. In those cases, our Privacy Policy explains how we use that data, on what legal basis, how long we keep it, and the rights you have under data‑protection law.
