What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to website owners.
Cookies allow a website to recognise your device and remember information about your visit, such as your preferred language and other settings. This can make your next visit easier and the site more useful to you.
How We Use Cookies
Our website uses cookies for the following purposes:
Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and accessibility. You cannot opt out of these cookies as the website would not function correctly without them.
