• understand how visitors interact with the website.

Cookies may be set directly by us (“first-party cookies”) or by an external service provider (“third-party cookies”).

Session cookies are generally deleted when you close your browser.
Persistent cookies remain on your device for a specified period or until you delete them.
The duration of each cookie depends on its purpose and is stated in the cookie preference tool or cookie table, where available.

Categories of Cookies We Use
Essential (Strictly necessary) Cookies
Strictly necessary cookies are required for the Website to operate securely and correctly.
They may be used to:

• maintain essential Website functions;
• remember privacy and cookie choices;
• protect the Website against malicious activity;
• distribute network traffic;
• maintain forms or sessions; and
• ensure security and fraud prevention.

These cookies cannot normally be disabled through our cookie preference tool because the Website may not function properly without them.
Where applicable law permits, strictly necessary cookies are used without consent.

Analytics and Performance Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the Website.
They may collect information concerning:

• the number of visitors;
• pages viewed;
• time spent on the Website;
• navigation paths;
• referral sources;
• device and browser characteristics;
• approximate location derived from technical data; and
• Website errors and performance.

We use this information to measure and improve the Website.
Analytics cookies are activated only after you provide consent, where such consent is required by law.

Advertising Cookies
The Website may display content from third-party services, such as:

• YouTube or Vimeo videos;
• ArtStation portfolios;
• social media feeds;
• interactive maps;
• audio players; or
• other embedded media.

May be used to:

• measure advertising effectiveness;
• create audience segments;
• track visits across websites;
• display relevant advertising; and

They may be placed by us or by third-party advertising and social media providers.
We will not activate marketing cookies unless you provide consent where required by applicable law.
These providers may store or access cookies on your device and may receive information such as your IP address, browser data and interaction with the embedded content.
Where required, embedded third-party content will remain blocked until you consent to the relevant cookie category.

Cookies Used on the Website
The exact cookies used on the Website should be listed below or displayed dynamically through the Website’s cookie preference tool.
This table must be updated whenever cookies or service providers are added, removed or changed.
The Website’s cookie preference tool may provide a more detailed and current list of cookies.

Legal Basis
Strictly necessary cookies may be used where they are necessary to provide a service requested by the user, maintain the security of the Website or store the user’s privacy preferences.
Other cookies, including analytics, functionality and marketing cookies, are used on the basis of your consent where required by applicable law.
Where cookies involve the processing of personal data, the relevant legal basis under the GDPR is generally:

• Article 6(1)(a) GDPR for processing based on consent; or
• Article 6(1)(f) GDPR for limited processing necessary to operate and secure the Website, where reliance on legitimate interests is lawful.

We do not rely on legitimate interests to bypass a legal requirement to obtain consent for storing or accessing information on your device.

Cookie Consent
When you first visit the Website, you may be presented with a cookie consent banner.
The banner should allow you to:

• accept all optional cookies;
• reject all optional cookies; or
• select individual cookie categories.

Optional cookies will not be activated before consent where prior consent is legally required.
Closing the banner, continuing to browse the Website or remaining inactive will not be treated as consent to optional cookies.

Changing or Withdrawing Consent
You may change or withdraw your cookie consent at any time.
You can reopen the cookie preference tool by selecting:
“Cookie Settings”
in the Website footer.
Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.
After withdrawal, the relevant optional cookies will no longer be placed. Existing cookies may need to be deleted through the cookie preference tool or your browser settings, depending on the technology used.

Browser Settings
Most browsers allow you to:

• view stored cookies;
• delete cookies;
• block cookies from specific websites;
• block third-party cookies; or
• block all cookies.

Browser settings differ between providers. Please refer to your browser’s help or privacy settings for specific instructions.
Blocking all cookies may affect essential Website functionality and may prevent certain features from operating correctly.
Browser settings do not always prevent the use of technologies that operate without traditional cookies. The Website’s cookie preference tool should therefore be used where available.

Third-Party Providers
Third-party providers may process information collected through their technologies under their own privacy policies.
Depending on the Website’s configuration, relevant providers may include:

• [Google Ireland Limited / Google LLC];
• [YouTube];
• [Vimeo];
• [Meta Platforms Ireland Limited];
• [LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company];
• [Microsoft Ireland Operations Limited];
• [Cloudflare, Inc.];
• [hosting provider];
• [cookie consent platform provider]; and
• [other providers actually used by the Website].

The presence of a provider in this section must reflect the services actually used by the Website.

International Data Transfers
Some third-party cookie or analytics providers may process information outside the European Economic Area.
Where personal data are transferred internationally, the transfer must be based on an appropriate legal mechanism, such as:

• an adequacy decision;
• the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses;
• supplementary safeguards; or
• another transfer mechanism permitted under the GDPR.

Further information is available in our Privacy Policy and in the privacy documentation of the relevant provider.

Retention of Consent Records
We may retain records of cookie choices in order to:

• remember your preferences;
• demonstrate compliance with legal requirements; and
• avoid requesting consent more frequently than necessary.

Consent records will be retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for these purposes.
We may ask you to confirm your cookie choices again where:

• the applicable consent period expires;
• the cookies or purposes materially change;
• legal requirements change; or
• we are unable to identify a previous preference.

• we introduce or remove cookies;
• we change service providers;
• the purposes of cookies change;
• the Website is technically modified; or
• applicable legal requirements change.

The latest version will be published on the Website with an updated revision date.
