Cookie Policy

Last Updated: 23 May 2025

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They help the site remember information about you — such as your preferences or whether you have previously visited — so that your experience is smoother on return visits.

Cookies do not give us access to your device, and they cannot run programmes or carry viruses. Most browsers accept cookies automatically, but you can adjust this at any time through your browser settings.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

Always Active
Required

These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly. They enable core features such as page navigation, security, and session continuity. The site cannot operate correctly without them, so they cannot be switched off.

Examples: session state, security tokens, cookie consent record

Duration: Session or up to 12 months

Analytics Cookies

Optional

These help us understand how visitors use our site — which pages are visited most, how long people spend on them, and where visitors come from. This information is aggregated and anonymous, and helps us improve the site over time.

Examples: Google Analytics (page views, session duration)

Duration: Up to 26 months

Marketing Cookies

Optional

These cookies are used to show you relevant information about our programmes on other platforms. They help measure how effective our outreach is and allow us to avoid showing you the same content repeatedly.

Examples: Meta Pixel, Microsoft Advertising UET

Duration: Up to 180 days

Preference Cookies

Optional

These remember your settings and choices so you do not have to repeat them on every visit. For example, they may recall your language preference or whether you have dismissed a particular notice.

Examples: language setting, display preferences

Duration: Up to 12 months

3. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are placed by third-party services embedded on our site. We do not control these directly, but we limit their use to services we rely on for analytics and outreach. These may include:

  • Google Analytics — website usage analysis
  • Meta (Facebook) Pixel — outreach effectiveness measurement
  • Microsoft Advertising (Bing UET) — campaign reach measurement
  • Google Maps — map display on our location page

Each third-party provider operates under their own privacy policy. We encourage you to review them if you have specific concerns about how they handle data.

4. Cookie Duration

Cookies fall into two categories by duration:

  • Session cookies are temporary and are removed from your device when you close your browser. They maintain continuity during a single visit.
  • Persistent cookies remain on your device until they expire or you delete them. Their duration varies by purpose — from a few days to up to two years for analytics cookies.
