Cookies used on our website fall into two main categories:
First-party Cookies - These cookies are set directly by us to ensure the essential functions of our website and services operate correctly. They are strictly necessary for the proper use of our website and services, and as such, we do not provide an opt-out mechanism for these cookies.
Third-party Cookies - These cookies are set by trusted third-party partners. They serve various purposes, such as helping us improve our services, facilitating payment processing, to keep the live chat session open across our website or associating your session with our analytics partners to understand how you interact with our website. For example, we use Google Analytics to track website usage, providing us with reports that help us enhance your experience. Some third-party cookies may also track your activity across other websites that utilise the same third-party service.
We use cookies only when we believe they enhance the overall experience for our users. You have the right to opt out of any non-essential cookie usage, as outlined later in this policy.
Please be aware that third parties may update, rename, add, or remove the cookies they use. While we periodically review and update the information provided here, the most accurate and up-to-date details regarding third-party cookies can always be found in the respective cookie policies of our trusted partners.
In line with our cookie policy, we provide you with the option to decline cookies upon your first visit or at any time. If you've previously consented to non-essential cookies on our website, you can easily change your mind by accessing the "edit cookies" link available in the legal section of our website footer. You will also be able to view your previous consent choices and also see the actual cookie(s) stored in your browser.
Additionally, you can configure your browser to reject cookies from our website. While most browsers are set to accept cookies by default, you can adjust the settings to block cookies entirely or prompt notifications whenever a website attempts to set or update a cookie. Keep in mind that if you browse on multiple devices, you'll need to update the cookie settings on each one individually.
Please note, while some cookies can be blocked without major impact, disabling all cookies might limit your access to features or content.

We regularly scan our website for updates to cookies which are in use and to make sure the preference selector is accurate and working as expected. The preference selector is automatically set to not allow any cookies (other than necessary cookies) until a preference has been selected to "allow" upon first visit or as an amendment. Any newly detected cookies or changes will be reflected in the optional cookies section of the preferences pop-up window.
