1. What cookies are
Cookies and similar technologies are small identifiers or storage mechanisms used by websites and services. We separate storage needed to provide or secure the service from optional analytics or marketing technologies.
2. Strictly necessary
- Authentication and session security.
- Fraud, abuse and rate-limit protection.
- Load balancing, service continuity and cookie-choice storage.
- Member preferences required to provide a feature you request.
3. Optional technologies
Analytics, advertising, social-media tracking or cross-site personalisation must not be activated unless an appropriate lawful basis and, where required, your prior consent applies. Rejecting optional cookies must be as easy as accepting them and must not block essential access.
4. Your choices
Use the site’s cookie control, where shown, to accept, reject or change optional choices. You can also delete or block cookies in your browser, although essential features such as sign-in may stop working. Withdrawing consent does not make earlier lawful processing unlawful.
5. Current deployment
The current site uses essential platform, security and sign-in storage. Before any optional analytics, advertising pixels or embedded third-party media are enabled, this policy and the consent control must be updated with the provider, purpose and duration.
