You may also manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies, delete existing cookies, or be notified when a new cookie is set. Disabling functional cookies may affect the operation of this website. The following links provide guidance for common browsers:

4. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on this site are set by third-party services, including Google Analytics. These services operate under their own privacy frameworks. Where analytics cookies are present, we have configured Google Analytics to anonymise IP addresses before data is stored. We do not have control over third-party cookie behaviour beyond the settings available within those platforms.

5. Opt-Out of Analytics Tracking

In addition to managing preferences via the consent banner, you may opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Declining analytics cookies via the consent banner on this site will prevent analytics cookies from being set during your visit.

If material changes are made that affect how analytics cookies are used, we will present the consent banner again to allow you to review and update your choices.
