2. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work properly, work more efficiently, and to provide information to the website owner.

Cookies are not harmful to your device and do not contain any personally identifiable information by themselves. They simply allow a website to recognise your device and remember certain information about your visit, such as your preferences or the contents of a shopping cart.

In addition to cookies, we may also use other similar technologies such as:

  • Web beacons (pixel tags): Small transparent images embedded in web pages or emails that allow us to track whether a page has been viewed or an email has been opened.
  • Local storage: A browser feature that allows websites to store data on your device beyond the duration of a single session.
  • Session storage: Similar to local storage but the data is cleared when you close your browser tab.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use the following categories of cookies on our website:

3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

Always active — these cannot be disabled

These cookies are essential for our website to function correctly. Without them, services you have requested cannot be provided. They include:

  • Session cookies: Keep you logged in during your visit and maintain the contents of your application form
  • Security cookies: Help protect our website and your data from fraudulent activity and cross-site request forgery (CSRF)
  • Load balancing cookies: Ensure the website performs consistently during high traffic
  • Cookie consent cookies: Remember your cookie preferences so we do not ask you again on every visit

These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information and are deleted when you close your browser (session cookies) or after a set period (persistent cookies).

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

Require your consent

These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our website. They help us understand which pages are the most and least popular, how visitors move around the site, and where visitors come from. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and anonymised.

  • Google Analytics: Tracks page views, session duration, bounce rate, traffic sources, and user journeys through our website. Data is anonymised before being stored. Google Privacy Policy
  • Google Tag Manager: Manages and deploys tracking tags on our website without modifying code directly

If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our website and will not be able to monitor its performance.

3.3 Functional Cookies

These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalisation on our website. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. They help us remember your preferences so you have a better experience when you return.

  • Storing your progress through a multi-step application form
  • Live chat and customer support tools

If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these features may not function correctly.

3.4 Marketing and Advertising Cookies

Require your consent

These cookies are set through our website by our advertising partners. They may be used to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other websites. They work by uniquely identifying your browser and device.

  • Google Ads (gclid, _gcl_au): Tracks conversions from our Google Ads campaigns and enables remarketing to previous visitors. Google Privacy Policy
