01 What are cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site work, remember your choices, and understand how it is used. We also use similar technologies such as pixels, tags, software development kits, and local storage, which we refer to collectively as “cookies” in this policy.
Cookies may be “session” cookies, which expire when you close your browser, or “persistent” cookies, which remain until they expire or you delete them. They may be set by us (“first-party”) or by our partners (“third-party”).

- Functional. Remember choices you make, such as region or language, to provide a more personalised experience.

05 Third-party cookies
Some cookies are set by third parties that provide services on our site, such as analytics providers, and embedded content or links to services like WhatsApp, maps, and video. These providers may use cookies to collect information about your use of our site and others, subject to their own privacy and cookie policies. We encourage you to review those policies.
06 How to manage cookies
You can control cookies in several ways:
- Our preferences tool. Use the cookie banner or preferences link on our site to accept or reject non-essential cookies and change your choices at any time.
- Browser settings. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies and warn you before they are set. See the help pages for Chrome, Safari, Firefox, or Edge for instructions. Blocking some cookies may affect how the site works.
- Analytics and advertising opt-outs. You can opt out of certain analytics and interest-based advertising through industry tools such as the Google Analytics opt-out, and the choices offered by advertising associations in your region.
07 Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control
Some browsers offer “Do Not Track” signals or Global Privacy Control (GPC). There is not yet a common industry standard for how these signals are handled. Where required by applicable law, we honour recognised opt-out preference signals; otherwise, please use our cookie preferences tool and the controls described above.
