Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They can be session cookies (which expire when you close your browser) or persistent cookies (which remain until deleted or expired). We also use web beacons, tags, and similar technologies to measure campaign effectiveness and ensure platform resilience.

2. Categories of Cookies We Use

• Strictly necessary: Enable secure login, session management, and load balancing. These cookies are essential to deliver our services and cannot be disabled in our systems.
• Performance and analytics: Provide aggregated statistics on page performance, user flow, and content engagement so that we can refine our digital experience.
• Functional: Remember preferences such as language, region, and saved form inputs to streamline repeat visits.
• Marketing and personalisation: Support relationship management and event outreach by tailoring communications to your expressed interests.

3. Third-Party Technologies

We partner with carefully selected providers that deploy cookies or similar technologies on our behalf. They process data strictly in line with contractual safeguards.

Third-party cookies are governed by the privacy policies of the respective providers. We encourage you to review those policies for details about their handling of data.

4. Managing Preferences

You can control cookies through several mechanisms:

• Consent banner: Where required by law, our cookie management tool allows you to accept or decline non-essential categories and revisit your choices at any time.
• Browser settings: Most browsers provide controls to block, delete, or alert you about cookies. Refer to the help section of your browser for specific instructions.
• Third-party opt-outs: You may use tools such as the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on or the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out portal to manage certain analytics or marketing cookies.

Disabling some cookies may impact site functionality, including secure login areas and access to premium resources.

5. Retention

Cookie lifespans vary by category and are set to retain data only as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described above. Persistent cookies expire automatically after the period specified in your consent tool or earlier if you delete them.

6. Updates

We may update this Policy to reflect changes to our technology stack, regulatory developments, or business practices. We will revise the "Last updated" date and may communicate significant changes through additional notices.
