Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit our platform. This policy explains exactly which cookies we use and what they do.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small data files placed on your browser or device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information and enable personalisation. Cookies can be "persistent" (remaining until deleted or expired) or "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser).

How to Control Cookies
You can control and/or delete cookies as you wish. You can delete all cookies that are already on your device and set most browsers to prevent them from being placed.
- Browser settings: Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies or delete specific cookies. Consult your browser's help documentation for instructions.
- Opt-out tools: For Google Analytics, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
- Impact: Disabling strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from logging in and using key features of the Platform.
Do Not Track
Some browsers support a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature. Our Platform does not currently respond to DNT signals, as there is no consistent industry standard for how to respond to these signals. We will continue to monitor developments in this area.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will reflect any changes. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
