2. Who sets cookies?
- First-party cookies – set by this Site to support core functionality (e.g. remembering preferences).
- Third-party cookies – set by external providers (e.g. analytics, embedded content, advertising) to deliver their services.
3. How we use cookies (by category)
- Strictly necessary – essential for the Site to function (e.g. security, load-balancing, consent storage). These cannot be switched off.
- Performance / analytics – help us understand traffic, page performance and errors so we can improve the Site.
- Functionality – remember choices (e.g. language, region) and enhance features.
- Targeting / advertising – used to measure campaigns or show relevant content. We only use these with your consent.
