1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function efficiently and to provide information to website operators. Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting (first-party cookies) or by third-party services (third-party cookies).
Cookies are not programs and cannot access other information on your device. They cannot introduce malware or viruses. However, they can be used to track your browsing behaviour across sites if you consent to such cookies.
2. Categories of Cookies We Use
These cookies are required for the website to function. They include cookies that enable navigation, remember your cookie consent preference, and support basic security functions. These cookies do not collect information about you that could be used for marketing purposes.
These cookies allow us to understand how visitors interact with the site — which articles are read, how long readers stay on a page, and which navigation paths are most used. This information is used in aggregate form to improve editorial content and site structure. These cookies are only set where you have given consent.
Functional cookies enable enhanced features such as remembering your reading preferences, previously viewed articles, and display settings. Disabling these cookies may affect some non-essential aspects of the reading experience but will not prevent you from accessing content.
Where third-party content is embedded in our pages — such as Google Maps on the Contact page — cookies may be set by those third parties according to their own privacy policies. We do not control third-party cookies. The relevant third-party privacy policies are linked below.

- —Accept All — enables strictly necessary, analytics, functional, and third-party embed cookies.

- —Functional Only — enables strictly necessary cookies only. No analytics or functional preference cookies are set.
You can change your preference at any time by clicking the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer of any page on this site.
4. Browser-Level Cookie Controls

- —Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies and other site data
- —Mozilla Firefox: Options > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data
- —Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data
