Cookie Policy
This policy explains what cookies this website uses, why we use them, and how you can control them. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device when you visit. They help the site work properly, remember your preferences, and, if you agree, help us understand how the site is used. This site also uses similar technologies, such as local storage, for the same purposes; where this policy says "cookies", it covers those too.
How we ask for your consent
When you first visit this site, a banner asks you to accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can choose to accept all, reject all, or manage your preferences by category. Necessary cookies are not part of this choice, as the site cannot function without them.
Your choice is stored on your device and remembered on future visits. You can change your mind at any time using the "Cookie Preferences" link in the footer of every page.
Until you make a choice, or if you choose to reject non-essential cookies, no analytics or marketing cookies are set. This is enforced using Google's Consent Mode, which keeps those signals switched off by default.
The cookies we use
We group cookies into three categories. The table below explains what each one does.
| Category | Purpose | Can you refuse it? |
|---|---|---|
| Necessary | Required for the site to function: remembering your cookie preferences, keeping the contact form secure against spam, and similar essential tasks. These do not track you for advertising or analytics purposes. | No. The site cannot work correctly without these. |
| Analytics | Help us understand how visitors use the site: which pages are popular, how people arrive here, and whether the site is easy to use, using Google Analytics. This information is aggregated and does not identify you personally. | Yes, off by default until you agree. |
| Marketing | Reserved for measuring the effectiveness of future advertising, such as remarketing. Not currently in use. No marketing cookies are set on this site at present, but we're keeping the category in place so this policy won't need restructuring if that changes. | Yes, off by default, and currently has no effect either way, since nothing in this category is active. |
Cookies set by other websites
If you follow a link from this site to another website, for example one of our accreditation bodies, or a social media profile in our footer, that site may set its own cookies. We don't control these and this policy doesn't cover them. Check the relevant website's own cookie policy for details.
Controlling cookies through your browser
As well as the controls on this site, most browsers let you see, manage and delete cookies through their settings. Blocking all cookies may stop parts of this site, and many others, working as intended. Search your browser's help documentation for "cookies" to find out how.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy if the cookies we use change, for example if we introduce marketing cookies in future. We'll update the date at the top of this page whenever we do.
