First-party cookies
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are essential in order to enable you to move around the website and use its features. Because these cookies are strictly necessary we do not need to ask for your consent to use them.
Functionality cookies
These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your language or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. For instance, these cookies can be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts and other parts of web pages that you can customise.

Third-party cookies
Performance cookies (Google Analytics)
These cookies collect information about traffic to our website and how visitors use our website. This may include the number of visitors to our website, the websites that referred them to our website, the pages that they visited, what time of day they visited, whether they have visited our website before, and other similar information.
These analytics cookies may also tell us how many of our visitors are male or female, and may summarise the number of visitors who fall within certain age ranges, or certain interest categories.
The information gathered does not identify any individual visitor. The information is aggregated and therefore anonymous. We use this information to help operate our services more efficiently, to gather broad demographic information and to monitor the level of activity on our website.
We use a third-party web analytics software for this purpose: Google Analytics. Google Analytics uses its own cookies. You can find out more information about Google Analytics cookies here.

Facebook Pixel
Facebook pixels are analytics tools which we place on our websites to allow us to measure the effectiveness of our Facebook advertising. Facebook pixels allow us to trace the actions that people who have clicked on our Facebook Ads go on to perform on our website, from site and page visits, through to conversion (completing one of our online forms).
This conversion tracking helps us to measure the engagement and return of investment of our Ads placed on Facebook. We do not collect or store personal information in the process of using Facebook pixels.
Performance cookies (Hubspot)
Third-party analytics cookies are also set by our marketing platform Hubspot. This is for the purpose of tracking individual visitor behaviour on our website (namely number of website visits and pages viewed), to help us monitor the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns.
More information about Hubspot cookies can be found here.
