2.Types of Cookies We Use
We use four categories of cookies: essential (required for the site to function), functional (to remember your preferences), analytics (to understand how the site is used), and marketing (to deliver relevant content). Each is described in detail below.
3.Essential Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for the website and platform to function. They cannot be disabled. They include:
- Session cookies — keep you logged in during a browser session.
- Security cookies — protect against cross-site request forgery (CSRF) and other threats.
- Load balancing cookies — distribute traffic across our infrastructure to ensure availability.
4.Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow the site to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, personalised features. Examples include:
- Your preferred theme (light or dark mode).
- Language or regional preferences.
- Previously dismissed notifications or banners.
Disabling these cookies may affect the quality of your experience.
5.Analytics Cookies
We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with our site. This helps us improve content, navigation, and performance. Analytics data is aggregated and anonymised where possible. Services we may use include:
- Internal analytics infrastructure.
- Third-party analytics providers operating under data processing agreements.
You can opt out of analytics cookies without affecting core functionality.
6.Marketing Cookies
Marketing cookies may be used to display relevant advertisements and measure the effectiveness of campaigns. These cookies may track your activity across sites. We only use marketing cookies with your explicit consent.
You may withdraw consent at any time by updating your cookie preferences.
7.Third-Party Cookies
Some features of our platform are powered by third-party services (such as authentication providers, video embeds, or support chat). These services may set their own cookies governed by their respective privacy policies. We do not control third-party cookies and recommend reviewing their policies directly.
8.How to Manage Cookies
You can manage cookies in the following ways:
- Browser settings — most browsers allow you to view, block, or delete cookies. Refer to your browser’s help documentation for instructions.
- Cookie preferences — use our cookie consent panel to update your preferences at any time (accessible via the link in the footer).
- Opt-out tools — for analytics and advertising, you may use tools such as the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
Note that blocking essential cookies will prevent the platform from functioning correctly.
9.Policy Updates
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legislation, or our practices. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page will indicate when changes were made. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
