8. Cookies and similar tracking technologies
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to collect technical and usage data, enhance your experience, personalise content or advertising, remember your preferences, detect bots/fraud, analyse traffic and usage of our Website.
You may accept, reject or manage cookies via your browser settings or our cookie banner/consent mechanism (where deployed). Note that blocking or disabling certain cookies may adversely affect how the Website functions for you.

10. Data retention
We will retain your personal data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected (including any legal, regulatory or auditing requirements). When the data is no longer required, we will securely delete or anonymise it.
