What are cookies?
Cookies are small pieces of data stored in text files that are stored on your computer when you visit web pages. They are widely used in order to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide us with information for different purposes.
Types of cookies:
- Purposes cookies:
- Necessary cookies: Necessary cookies help make a website usable by enabling basic functions like page navigation and access to secure areas of the website. The website cannot function properly without these cookies.
- Preference cookies: Preference cookies enable a website to remember information that changes the way the website behaves or looks, like your preferred language or the region that you are in.
- Statistics cookies: Statistic cookies help website owners to understand how visitors interact with websites by collecting and reporting information anonymously.
- Marketing cookies: Marketing cookies are used to track visitors across websites. The intention is to display ads that are relevant and engaging for the individual user and thereby more valuable for publishers and third-party advertisers.

Google Analytics
Along with the above-mentioned cookies, we use Google Analytics with Google Consent Mode (Advanced) to help us understand how our website is used by the page visitors. In advanced mode, Google Analytics is loaded before you give consent, but all data that could identify you — such as analytics cookies — is set to denied until you consent.
Before consent, Google Analytics sends cookieless pings. These are small, anonymous requests from your browser that contain only limited technical information, such as the type of page visited, browser settings, or whether a conversion occurred. They:
Do not set or read cookies;
Do not contain any information that can identify you;
Cannot be used to track you across websites; and
Are used only to produce aggregated, non-identifiable statistics to improve our site.
If you consent to statistics cookies, Google Analytics updates its settings to granted and cookies are then used alongside the pings to give more detailed insights. If you decline, only the basic anonymous pings are sent and no cookies are stored.
Legal Basis for Processing Cookies
We use cookies in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the UK Data Protection Act 2018. The legal basis for processing the personal data collected through cookies depends on the type of cookie:
Essential Cookies: The legal basis for processing is our legitimate interest in ensuring the proper functioning of our website and/or any services we provide to you.
Preference, Statistics, and Marketing Cookies: The legal basis for processing is your consent, which you can provide or withdraw at any time through as provided below.
