1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the website owner.

Cookies cannot carry viruses or install malware on your device. The information stored in a cookie is typically a unique identifier or a short piece of data linked to your browsing session.

Similar technologies such as web beacons, pixel tags, local storage, and session storage may also be used for similar purposes. All references to "cookies" in this policy encompass these related technologies unless specified otherwise.

2. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies to:

Ensure our website functions correctly and loads reliably
Remember your preferences and settings across visits
Understand how visitors use our website so we can improve it
Measure the effectiveness of our content and pages
Prevent fraudulent activity and improve security
Enable social sharing features (e.g. Instagram, LinkedIn links)

We do not use cookies to display personalised advertising, build advertising profiles, or sell data to advertisers.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to function. They enable core features such as page navigation, form submissions, and security. The website cannot function properly without them. These cookies do not require your consent under applicable law.

Performance & Analytics Cookies

These cookies collect anonymised information about how visitors use our website — for example, which pages are most visited, how long visitors spend on each page, and whether they encounter any errors. This data helps us improve the performance and content of our website. We use Google Analytics for this purpose; data is aggregated and does not identify individual users.

Third-Party / Embedded Content Cookies

Our website may contain links to or embeds from third-party services such as Instagram or LinkedIn. These services may set their own cookies when you interact with embedded content.

6. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You have the right to decide whether to accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can manage your preferences in the following ways:

Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can set your browser to refuse cookies, delete existing cookies, or warn you before a cookie is placed. Please note that restricting cookies may impact the functionality of our website.

Google Analytics Opt-Out

To prevent Google Analytics from collecting data about your visits, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Mobile Devices

On mobile devices, you can manage advertising identifiers through your device's privacy settings (iOS: Settings → Privacy → Tracking; Android: Settings → Google → Ads).

Please note that blocking all cookies may affect the proper functioning of our website. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled as they are essential for the website to operate.

7. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activity tracked. There is currently no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. Our website does not currently alter its behaviour based on DNT signals, but you can use the methods described in Section 6 to manage your cookie preferences directly.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time as our website evolves or as legal requirements change. We will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page when we make changes. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.
