Where required by applicable law, we will request your consent before placing or activating non-essential cookies on your device. This generally applies to cookies used for analytics, personalisation, advertising, retargeting, and similar optional functions.
Strictly necessary cookies may be used without prior consent where they are essential to provide the website or a service requested by you.
You can accept, reject, or customise your cookie preferences through our cookie banner or consent management tool, where available.
Important: If your site uses tools like Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, Hotjar, YouTube embeds, reCAPTCHA, live chat, or retargeting tools, those should normally be disclosed here clearly and matched with your actual cookie banner settings.
6. Cookie Duration
Cookies may remain on your device for different periods of time:
- Session Cookies: These expire when you close your browser.
- Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them manually.
The exact duration depends on the specific cookie and its purpose.
