Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet or other device when you visit a website.
Cookies allow websites to recognise your device and can be used for a number of purposes, including making a website function correctly, remembering preferences and understanding how visitors use the website.
We may also use similar technologies, including tags, pixels, scripts and local storage. For the purposes of this policy, we refer to these technologies collectively as “cookies” unless otherwise stated.
3. How we use cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies in the following categories.

These cookies do not normally require your consent where they are strictly necessary for the operation of the website or for a service you have requested.

4. Google Tag Manager
Our website uses Google Tag Manager, a service provided by Google, to manage certain website tags and scripts.
Google Tag Manager is a tag-management system. Its presence does not necessarily mean that all Google analytics or advertising services are active or that particular Google cookies are being set.
The tags and services deployed through our tag-management system may change from time to time.
Where a tag or technology requires consent, we will seek the appropriate consent before it is activated.
