Cookie Policy

01What cookies are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to make them work more efficiently, and to provide information to the website's operators. Similar technologies, such as pixels, local storage, and tags, perform comparable functions. In this policy, we refer to all of these simply as "cookies".

02Why we use cookies

We use cookies to operate our website reliably and securely, to remember your preferences, to understand how the website is used so that we can improve it, and, where applicable, to measure the effectiveness of our content. We aim to keep our use of cookies modest and proportionate to running a professional services website.

03Categories of cookies we may use

The cookies on our website generally fall into the following categories:

• Strictly necessary cookies — required for the website to function and to maintain security. These cannot be switched off in our systems without affecting how the site works.
• Preference cookies — remember choices you make, such as display preferences, to provide a more consistent experience.
• Analytics and performance cookies — help us understand how visitors interact with the website, on an aggregated basis, so we can improve content and usability.
• Functional cookies — support enhanced features, such as embedded content or scheduling tools, where used.

We do not use cookies to sell your personal information, and we do not run third-party advertising networks on this website.

04First-party and third-party cookies

First-party cookies are set by our website directly. Third-party cookies are set by service providers we use, such as analytics or content providers, when their functionality is present on a page. Third-party cookies are governed by the privacy and cookie policies of the relevant provider, and we encourage you to review those policies.

05Session and persistent cookies

Session cookies are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them, and allow the website to recognize your device on return visits. We use each type only where appropriate to the purpose described above.

06Managing cookies in your browser

Most browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can usually set your browser to block or alert you about cookies, to delete cookies already stored, and to manage cookies on a site-by-site basis. The exact steps vary by browser, and your browser's help function will explain the options available to you. Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect the functionality of our website.

07Other controls

Depending on your location and the tools in use, additional controls may be available to you, such as opt-out mechanisms offered by analytics providers or device-level privacy settings. Where applicable law requires us to obtain your consent before setting non-essential cookies, we will seek that consent and honor your choices.

08Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" signal. Because there is no consistent industry standard for how such signals should be interpreted, our website may not respond to them. We will, however, continue to respect the cookie controls and consent choices you exercise as described in this policy.

09Cookies and personal information

Information collected through cookies may, in some cases, be associated with other information we hold about you and may constitute personal information under applicable law. Where that is the case, we handle it in accordance with our Privacy Policy, including the sections on how we use, share, and protect personal information and your rights in relation to it.

10Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the technologies we use or in legal requirements. The "Last updated" date above reflects the most recent revision. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Your continued use of our website after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy, except where your consent is separately required.
