1What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to the website owners.
Cookies help us remember your preferences, understand how you use our website, and improve your overall experience. Some cookies are essential for the website to function, while others help us analyse traffic or deliver personalised content.
2Types of Cookies We Use

3Google Tag Manager
We use Google Tag Manager (GTM) to manage and deploy marketing tags (snippets of code) on our website. GTM itself does not collect any personal data, but it facilitates the deployment of other tags that may collect data.
Our GTM implementation respects your cookie preferences. If you decline analytics or marketing cookies, the associated tags will not fire and no tracking data will be collected.

To change your preferences later, you can clear your browser cookies and refresh the page, which will display the consent banner again.
