Session cookies generally expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain for a defined period or until deleted. Duration varies according to the purpose and provider.
First-party cookies are set for the domain. Third-party cookies are set or accessed by another organisation whose service appears on the website.
Third-party technologies
We may use service providers for website hosting, security, analytics, email delivery, maps or social links. Those providers may process technical information and place their own cookies according to their policies and our configuration.
When you follow a link to an external venue, social network, transport provider or map service, that site may use cookies independently. does not control cookies set on third-party websites.
Cookie choices and consent
Where a cookie preference tool is available, you can use it to accept, reject or change optional cookie categories. Strictly necessary technologies may remain active because they support requested functionality, security or basic page delivery.
Your preference can itself be stored so the website remembers your selection. If you clear browser data, change device or use a different browser, you may need to choose again.
Browser and device controls
Most browsers allow you to review, block or delete cookies through privacy or site-data settings. You may also be able to block third-party cookies, clear data when the browser closes or use private browsing.
Disabling all cookies can affect navigation, forms, saved preferences and other website functions. Browser instructions differ, so consult the help section for your browser or device.
Do Not Track and similar signals
Some browsers transmit “Do Not Track” or other privacy preference signals. There is not one universally adopted response standard for all such signals. We may update our approach as recognised standards, legal requirements and available technologies develop.
Information generated through cookies
Cookie-related information may include IP address, browser and device type, operating system, approximate location, referral source, session identifiers, pages viewed, clicks, timestamps and error information.
We may use this information in aggregated or de-identified form to understand website performance. Where cookie data is personal information, it is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
Retention
Cookie duration depends on its category and provider. We seek to retain associated information only for as long as reasonably required for the relevant purpose, security needs, legal obligations or dispute management.
Updates to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when website tools, providers, legal requirements or our practices change. The revised version will be published on this page with an updated date.
