Introduction
The purpose of this Cookie Policy is to provide clear and accessible information about what cookies are, how we use them, and the choices available to you as a user of our site. Cookies are small files that help us deliver a better and more personalised browsing experience.

We do not use invasive tracking technologies or third-party marketing cookies. Our aim is to create a smooth and secure user experience that respects your privacy and preferences.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They store information about your activity, preferences, or device type, allowing the site to remember your settings or optimise performance during future visits.
Cookies do not allow us to access your personal information or identify you individually unless you have chosen to provide such information voluntarily. In other words, cookies alone do not gather names, email addresses, or financial details. Their main function is to enhance usability and deliver a more consistent experience each time you interact with our platform.

- To detect technical issues and improve website speed and responsiveness
- To monitor how users engage with content in order to improve future updates
These cookies help us ensure that our site remains efficient, secure, and user-friendly. For instance, cookies allow our platform to identify when a returning visitor accesses the site, helping us reduce page loading times and deliver relevant content more effectively.
We do not use cookies for direct marketing or advertising. Any affiliate links featured on our site are included for informational purposes only and do not track user identity beyond basic click data for performance metrics.
