This should have a black background and chevrons to the right of the
text to take you to your chosen option.
I just get white background and no chevron (so no option).
I am corresponding (slowly) with their help desk, but am wondering if
this is a browser or OS specific issue.
When I have encountered this in the past on other systems, it has often
been one of two things:
(1) In house use of a specific manufacturer and browser, e.g. Apple
systems.
(2) The web page relies on something in the "in house" environment such
as a local file so it only works on the company's internal LAN.
I have the same result on W10 using Chrome and Edge.
I also can replicate on my Samsung Galaxy pad using the Samsung browser.
Independent tests would be most helpful.

Only the header section has a black background, rest of page is white,
no chevrons. checked with firefox (my everyday browser which has ads/cookies blocked aggressively) and chrome (with no blocking).
clicking on the text of what I would expect to be links does nothing, clicking slightly to the right (perhaps where the chevrons ought to
appear) does follow the link.

Looks as though you have to allow all cookies for the site and an
associated site.
I have managed to find a browser which doesn't automatically block
cookies, or had "block cookies" selected for the site.
I haven't yet worked out how to allow all cookies again once they have
been blocked.

I suspect they *might* be intended to be inserted by a pseudo-element, something like
a.chevron-link-class::after { content = ">" }

That would do it, but it would show up in the "Computed Styles" tab on
the development environment (- I think: it's been a while since I had
any fluency with this!)
CSS can be baffling if you're not up-to-date. I remember my puzzlement
over a page I was trying to understand which had a "media query" in the
code. For the uninitiated, a media query applies different formatting
rules e.g. if the viewport width shrinks below a certain size.
Anyway, if the OP specifies exactly where the chevrons are supposed to
be, at some point this week I might get a chance to see if they are in
the code at all (visible in the rendered display or not).

Just got back to this.
Will try and post a screen shot.

The chevrons show up in Firefox if you allow cookies.
