In this policy, “cookies” means cookies and similar technologies
3. How we use cookiesWe use cookies only where we have a clear reason to do so.
We may use cookies to:
● make the website work properly;

4. Types of cookies we use
4.1 Strictly necessary cookies
Strictly necessary cookies are needed for the website to work, keep it secure, remember privacy choices, or provide a service requested by the user.
These cookies do not require consent where they are strictly necessary, but we still explain them in this policy.
4.2 Preference cookies
Preference cookies remember choices, such as cookie settings, accessibility choices, or display preferences.
Some preference cookies may be strictly necessary if they are needed to remember privacy choices. Others may require consent, depending on what they do.
4.3 Analytics cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how people use our website, such as which pages are visited, whether pages load properly, and how users move through the site.
Where analytics cookies or similar technologies require consent, we will not use them unless consent has been given.
Where the law allows a limited analytics or statistical-purpose exception without consent, we will rely on it only where the legal conditions are met, this has been assessed, and users are given clear information and any required opt-out.
4.4 Embedded content and third-party cookies
Some pages may include content or tools from other providers, such as maps, videos, social media posts, forms, booking tools, payment tools, or newsletter sign-up tools.
These providers may set their own cookies or use similar technologies.
We will not load third-party cookies or similar technologies that require consent unless consent has been given. Where embedded content can be configured to avoid non-essential cookies before user interaction, we will use those settings where available.
