This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we process your personal data.
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to work more efficiently, and to provide information to the owners of the site. Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting ("first-party cookies") or by third parties whose services the website uses ("third-party cookies").
Legal Framework
Our use of cookies is governed by the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 ("PECR"), as amended by the Data Use and Access Act 2025 ("DUAA 2025"), and the UK General Data Protection Regulation ("UK GDPR") where cookies involve the processing of personal data.
Under the DUAA 2025, certain categories of cookies are exempt from the requirement to obtain prior consent. We have categorised our cookies accordingly below.
Cookies We Use
Functional Cookies (Consent Exempt)
These cookies are necessary for the basic operation of the Services. They enable core functionality such as user authentication, session management, and security features. Without these cookies, the Services cannot function properly.
Under the DUAA 2025 and PECR, functional cookies that are strictly necessary for the provision of a service explicitly requested by the user are exempt from the consent requirement.

Cookie preferences (Kumo) — Storing your cookie consent preferences. Duration: 12 months.
Analytics Cookies (Consent Exempt under DUAA 2025)
We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with the Services, including which pages are visited most frequently and how users navigate between pages. This information is used in aggregate to improve the Services and is not used to identify individual users.
Under the DUAA 2025, analytics cookies used solely for the purpose of collecting aggregate statistical information about the use of a website or service are exempt from the consent requirement, provided that: (a) the data collected is used only for aggregate statistical analysis; (b) we do not share the data with third parties for their own independent purposes; and (c) we provide clear information about the cookies and a prominent mechanism for you to opt out.

IP Anonymisation. We have configured Google Analytics to anonymise IP addresses before storage, meaning your full IP address is never recorded by Google Analytics.
Data Sharing. We do not share Google Analytics data with Google for its own advertising or other purposes. Our Google Analytics implementation does not enable any Google Advertising features.
Advertising and Tracking Cookies
We do not use any advertising, marketing, or cross-site tracking cookies. We do not serve advertisements on our Services and do not use cookies to track you across other websites.
How to Opt Out of Analytics Cookies
Although our analytics cookies are exempt from the consent requirement under the DUAA 2025, we respect your choice and provide the following mechanisms for you to opt out:
Browser settings. You can configure your browser to block or delete cookies. Most browsers allow you to manage cookie settings through their privacy or settings menus. Please note that blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of the Services.
Google Analytics Opt-Out. You can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, which prevents Google Analytics from collecting data about your visits.
Third-Party Services
Our Services may include links to third-party websites and services that are not operated by us. These third parties may use their own cookies when you interact with their services. We have no control over and are not responsible for the cookies or privacy practices of third-party websites. We encourage you to review the cookie and privacy policies of any third-party service you access.
