‘Essential’ cookies are automatically placed on your computer or device when you access our website or take certain actions on our website. ‘Non-essential’ cookies and other technologies are only placed on your computer or device if you have consented to us doing so. You consent to us placing non-essential cookies on your computer or device by continuing to use our website with your browser settings set to accept cookies.

About cookies
Cookies are small data files sent by a website's server to a web browser, processor memory or hard drive and stored there. They can be used for a range of different purposes, such as customising a website for a particular user, helping a user navigate a website, improving that user's website experience, and storing that user's preferences and login information.
Cookies can be classified as either ‘essential’ or ‘non-essential’.
Essential cookies: these are cookies that are either:
- used solely to carry out or facilitate the transmission of communications over a network, or
- strictly necessary to provide an online service (for example, our website or a service on our website) which you have requested.
Non-essential cookies: these are any cookies that do not fall within the definition of essential cookies, such as cookies used to analyse your behaviour on a website (‘analytical’ cookies) or cookies used to display advertisements to you (‘advertising’ cookies).
Cookies can also be classified as either ‘session’ or ‘persistent’, depending on how long they last after they are placed on your browser.
Session cookies: session cookies last for as long as you keep your browser open. They expire when you close your browser.
Persistent cookies: persistent cookies expire at a fixed point in time or if you manually delete them from your browser, whichever occurs first.
Cookies can be classified as ‘first party’ or ‘third party’.
First party cookies: these are cookies placed on your device by our website domain.
Third party cookies: these are cookies placed on your device by third party website domains.

Essential cookies
These are cookies which are strictly necessary for our website to operate or to provide you with a service on our website which you have requested. We use first party session cookies to maintain your session as you move between pages.
Non-essential cookies
We use the following types of non-essential cookies on our website:
- Functional cookies
- Analytical cookies
- Advertising cookies
Functional cookies
These cookies are designed for purposes such as enhancing the website's functionality. They are either not strictly essential for the website to work, or are cookies which serve non-essential purposes in addition to their essential purpose. Examples include a third party persistent cookie used to gauge your bandwidth in order to optimise the display of YouTube videos (VISITOR_INFO1_LIVE, expires after 8 months), and a first party session cookie used to help Google Analytics manage the number of users on our website (_gat).
Analytical cookies
Analytical or performance cookies track and gather data about what a user does on a website. These cookies are not essential for our website or its functionality to work. We use first party Google Analytics cookies to understand how you engage with our website, including how you came to our website, which pages you visited, for how long, what you clicked on and your approximate location based on your IP address. The Google Analytics cookies we use are _ga (persistent, 2 years), _gid (session) and _gat (session, see above). Information collected by Google Analytics is aggregated and anonymised. We also use third party YouTube cookies (YSC and PREF) which collect information about the videos you watch on our website.
Advertising cookies
We use Google Ads conversion tracking, loaded via Google Tag Manager, to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns. These cookies help us understand which of our Google Ads led you to enquire with us.

Google Analytics cookies are classified as first party cookies as they are set by our website domain, although Google collects and processes information from our use of Google Analytics.
