This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Notice, which explains how we use and protect personal data more generally.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer, smartphone, tablet or other device when you visit a website.
Cookies and similar technologies can help a website to:
- function correctly;
- keep your session secure;
- remember your preferences;
- understand how visitors use the website;
- measure and improve website performance; and
- support advertising and marketing, where permitted.
Some cookies are deleted when you close your browser. These are known as session cookies.
Other cookies remain on your device for a set period of time or until you delete them. These are known as persistent cookies.
We may also use technologies that perform similar functions to cookies, including browser storage, pixels, tags, scripts and other storage or access technologies. References to “cookies” in this Policy include these similar technologies where appropriate.
2. First-party and third-party cookies
Cookies can be placed by Murmur or by third parties.
First-party cookies are set directly by our website. They may be used to operate the website, provide security, remember your preferences and support functionality.
Third-party cookies are set by third-party services that are used or integrated into our website. Depending on the services we use, these may include providers of analytics, advertising, payment services, embedded content, website functionality or other technologies.
Third parties may process information collected through their technologies in accordance with their own privacy and cookie policies.
3. Why we use cookies
We may use cookies and similar technologies to:
- operate, maintain and secure our website;
- enable functions and services that you request;
- maintain secure browsing or shopping sessions;
- remember choices and preferences;
- prevent fraud, abuse and security threats;
- understand how visitors interact with our website;
- identify technical issues;
- measure and improve website performance;
- understand the effectiveness of our marketing and communications; and
- provide or measure advertising where applicable and permitted.
Where applicable law requires your consent before a cookie or similar technology can be used, we will seek that consent before activating the relevant technology.
Cookies that are strictly necessary for the operation of the website or the provision of a service you have requested may be used without consent where permitted by applicable law.
4. Categories of cookies we use
The cookies and similar technologies used on our website may fall into the following categories.
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are required for our website and its services to operate correctly.
They may be used for purposes such as:
- website security;
- fraud prevention;
- maintaining your browsing or shopping session;
- remembering your cookie consent choices;
- enabling shopping cart or checkout functionality; and
- providing services that you have specifically requested.
Because these cookies are necessary for the website to function, they generally cannot be switched off through our cookie preference centre.
Functionality Cookies
Functionality cookies allow our website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced or more personalised features.
They may be used to remember information such as:
- language or regional preferences;
- display preferences;
- previously selected settings; or
- other choices that improve your experience on the website.
Where required by applicable law, these cookies will only be used with your consent.
Performance Cookies
Performance cookies help us understand how visitors use our website and how the website performs.
They may collect information about matters such as:
- which pages are visited;
- how visitors move around the website;
- how long visitors spend on particular pages;
- website errors;
- page performance; and
- how visitors arrived at our website.
We use this information to measure, maintain and improve our website and services.
Where consent is required by applicable law, performance cookies will only be used after you have provided consent.
Targeting and Advertising Cookies
Targeting and advertising cookies may be used to understand the effectiveness of advertising, measure marketing campaigns and provide advertising that may be more relevant to you.
They may also allow advertising or marketing providers to recognise your browser or device across different websites or services.
Where required by applicable law, these technologies will only be activated after you have provided consent.
5. Our Cookie Declaration
We use Pandectes GDPR Compliance as our cookie consent management platform.

If you disable certain cookies, some features of the website may not operate as intended.
7. How we record your cookie choices
Our consent management platform may use a strictly necessary cookie or similar technology to remember the choices you make about cookies.
This allows us to:
