Cookie Policy

This notice explains how cookies and similar technologies are used on this website, and how you can control them.

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser when you visit a website. This site uses a limited set of cookies and similar technologies, described below by category, to make the site work reliably and to understand how it is used at a general level. We do not use cookies to build advertising profiles of visitors and do not sell or share cookie data with advertisers.

Categories

Categories of cookies used

Strictly necessary
Required for the website's core functions, such as remembering form progress during your case-assessment submission and maintaining basic site security. These cannot be switched off without affecting core functionality.
Preference
Used, where present, to remember choices you make on the site, such as a dismissed notice, so you are not asked again on your next visit.
Analytics
Where analytics technology is active, it is used to understand general, aggregated patterns of site usage — such as which pages are visited and how the site performs — so we can improve it. Analytics data is used internally and is not used to build advertising profiles.

No advertising profiling

No advertising profiles

We do not run third-party advertising on this website and we do not use cookies to build behavioural advertising profiles of visitors, retarget visitors on other sites, or sell visitor data to advertising networks.

Your controls

Controlling cookies in your browser

Most browsers let you view, delete and block cookies through their settings menu, and let you set a general preference to refuse cookies from some or all websites. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect the site's core functions, including the case-assessment form. Because browser settings differ, consult your browser's help documentation for the specific steps that apply to it.
