Cookie Policy

Last updated: 20 July 2026

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies are, how and why we use them on this website, and how you can control them. It forms part of, and should be read together with, our Privacy Policy. We use cookies sparingly, and non-essential cookies are set only with your prior consent, as required by the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device to make the site work, to remember your choices, or to understand how the site is used. We also use similar technologies such as local storage, which we refer to collectively as “cookies” in this Policy.

3. Essential cookies

These are strictly necessary for the website to work. They remember your language selection and your cookie preferences, keep the site secure, and protect our forms from spam and abuse. They do not track you across other websites and cannot be switched off through our preference tool.

4. Analytics cookies

Set only with your consent, these help us understand, on an aggregated and non-identifying basis, which pages are read and how visitors move through the site, so we can improve it. Where possible we configure analytics to anonymise identifiers such as IP addresses. They are not used to identify you personally.

5. Campaign cookies

Set only with your consent, these help us understand whether an appeal, article or outreach effort reached you, so we can measure and improve our communications. We never sell this information or use it to build advertising profiles about you.

6. Third-party cookies

Some cookies may be set by trusted third-party providers who help us operate the site, such as our analytics provider. These providers process data under contract and in accordance with their own privacy and cookie policies. We do not permit them to use the data for their own unrelated purposes.

7. How long cookies last

Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain for a limited period so that we can remember your preferences on your next visit, or until you delete them. Consent-based cookies are retained only for as long as your consent is valid, after which you will be asked again.

8. Managing and deleting cookies

You can change or withdraw your cookie choices at any time using the cookie preferences on this website. You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Please note that blocking essential cookies may stop parts of the site from working properly.

Most browsers also allow you to send a “Do Not Track” signal. Where technically feasible, we honour reasonable choices you make to limit tracking.

9. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in the cookies we use or in the law. We will update the “Last updated” date above whenever we do.
