Cookie Policy
Last updated: June 2026. How we use cookies, and how you stay in control.

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a site. They help us deliver a smoother, safer experience. We are committed to respecting your privacy and being transparent about the data we collect. For more on how we handle personal data, see our Privacy Policy.

How to control cookies
You can manage non-essential cookies using the preferences panel above at any time. You can also control or delete cookies through your browser settings; doing so may affect how parts of the site work. Blocking embedded content will simply replace it with a placeholder until you choose to load it.
Compliance
Our approach is designed to meet UK and EU GDPR and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), the California Consumer Privacy Act and CPRA in the US, and equivalent frameworks such as South Africa's POPIA and Nigeria's NDPR. We treat consent as opt-in, granular and easy to withdraw.
