1. What is a Cookie?

A cookie is a small file stored on your device when you visit a website. It helps the website remember information about your visit, like your preferences or actions (e.g., login status or language settings). Cookies can be temporary (deleted when you close your browser) or persistent (stored for a set period).

Cookies help:

·         Remember your preferences (like language or region).

·         Understand how you use our site (e.g., which pages you visit).

·         Show you relevant ads if you’ve given us permission.

We use our own cookies (first-party) and cookies from partners (third-party), like Google and Meta.

3. How Can You Control Our Website's Use of Cookies?

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies on our website. You can manage your cookie preferences in the cookie consent banner or the cookie preferences button on screen. Here, you can select which categories of cookies you accept or reject. Essential cookies cannot be rejected as they are strictly necessary to provide you with the services on our website.

You may also be able to set or amend your cookie preferences by managing your web browser settings. As each web browser is different, please consult the instructions provided by your web browser (typically in the "help" section). If you choose to refuse or disable cookies you may still use the website, though some of the functionality of the website may not be available to you.

For marketing cookies, you can also use the following opt-out tools:

·         Google Analytics Opt-Out

·         Meta (Facebook) Ad Preferences

·         Pinterest Privacy Settings

4. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are set by third-party services (e.g., Google, Meta, Pinterest). These providers act as independent Data Controllers for the data they collect, meaning they determine how and why your data is processed. While we do not control their cookies, we ensure they comply with GDPR by:

·         Requiring explicit consent before activating their cookies.

·         Using Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or other safeguards for international data transfers.

5. Data Transfers Outside the EEA

Some of our third-party cookie providers (e.g., Google, Meta, Pinterest) may transfer data outside the European Economic Area (EEA) to countries like the United States. We ensure these transfers comply with GDPR by:

·         Relying on Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs).

·         Using providers that participate in the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF) where applicable.

·         Ensuring pseudonymization and encryption of data where possible.
