Cookies are small text files placed on your device by the website you visit. Similar technologies — including local storage, session storage, and pixel tags — perform comparable functions.
Cookies are categorised by lifespan (session vs. persistent) and by origin (first-party, set by Amberstone, or third-party, set by a partner whose service is embedded in our pages). The Group does not embed advertising trackers, behavioural-profiling pixels, or social-media plugins on this website.

You may accept, refuse, or delete cookies at any time, through your browser's settings. Most browsers allow you to (i) view the cookies set on a given site, (ii) delete them on demand, and (iii) refuse them in future. Refusing strictly-necessary cookies will prevent the Schedule 4 self-certification from working, and you will not be able to access gated content.
