Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help us remember your preferences and analyse site usage.

We use trusted third-party services to help us operate and improve our website. These services may collect data independently under their own privacy policies:

  • Google Analytics: Used to gather anonymous traffic data and user behaviour insights. Google’s privacy policy can be found here.

Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the information collected. This includes secure servers, encryption where applicable, and regular security reviews.
