Cookie Policy

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website or use an application. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, improve user experience, and provide information to website owners.

Cookies may be:

• session cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser; or
• persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a set period or until deleted.

2. How we use cookies

We use cookies for the following purposes:

• to ensure the Service functions correctly;
• to manage authentication and user sessions;
• to protect the security of the Service; and
• to understand how users interact with our website and application (only where consent is given).

We do not use cookies for advertising or profiling.

3. Essential cookies (always active)

Essential cookies are required for the Service to function and cannot be switched off. These cookies do not require consent under UK law.

Examples of essential cookies include:

• authentication and session cookies used to log you into the application;
• security cookies that protect against unauthorised access; and
• cookies required to remember basic preferences necessary for core functionality.

These cookies are used on:

• the marketing website (where required for basic operation); and
• the authenticated application (to enable login and secure sessions).

4. Analytics cookies (optional)

We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to help us understand how users interact with our website and application, such as which pages are visited and how features are used.

Important points:

• Analytics cookies are not set unless you give consent.
• Google Analytics is loaded only after you click "Accept" on our cookie banner.
• If you choose "Reject", analytics cookies are not used.

Analytics cookies help us:

• improve usability;
• understand feature adoption; and
• identify areas for improvement during beta.

We configure Google Analytics to collect data in aggregate form and do not intentionally use it to identify individual users.

5. Managing your cookie preferences

When you first visit our website, you will be presented with a cookie banner allowing you to:

• Accept analytics cookies; or
• Reject analytics cookies (essential cookies only).

Your choice is remembered and can be changed at any time by adjusting your browser settings or revisiting the cookie banner.

You can also delete or block cookies through your browser settings. Please note that disabling essential cookies may affect the functionality of the Service.

6. Cookies in the application

When using the authenticated application:

• essential cookies are used to manage login, sessions, and security; and
• analytics cookies are used only if you have given consent via the cookie banner.

The application does not rely on analytics cookies to function.

7. Third parties

Analytics cookies are provided by Google. Information collected via Google Analytics may be processed by Google in accordance with its own privacy policies.

We do not allow third parties to place advertising cookies on our Service.

8. Updates to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, law, or how we use cookies. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
