Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which cookies we use on our website, and how you can control them. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
Our use of cookies is governed by the UK GDPR, the Data Protection Act 2018, and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR).
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow websites to recognise your device, remember your preferences, and collect usage data. Some cookies are set by us directly; others are set by third-party services we use.
2. How We Obtain Consent - Google Consent Mode v2
We implement Google Consent Mode v2 via our js/consent-mode.js script, which loads first in the page <head>. All non-essential cookie categories are set to denied by default. We do not activate analytics or advertising cookies until you explicitly accept them via the cookie banner.
When you interact with the banner:
- Accept All: grants analytics_storage, ad_storage, ad_user_data and ad_personalization.
- Reject Non-Essential: denies all non-essential categories; only essential cookies remain active.
- Manage Preferences: lets you toggle analytics and marketing cookies individually.
Your choice is stored in your browser's local storage under the key kn_cookie_consent and respected on all subsequent visits. You may change your preference at any time by clearing your browser's local storage or by contacting us.
