What are cookies?
Cookies are tiny text files that are placed on your computer when you visit a website. They help the website function properly, and are used for a number of reasons, e.g. to count visitors to a site, help you fill in forms, help content load quickly, or let website owners like us know which pages are most popular.
How do cookies work?
When you first visit a website that uses cookies, a simple text file is downloaded to your computer, which is then read each time you return to that same website. The file, called a 'cookie', can be used to remember your preferences or to personalise searches you've made in the past.
Cookies can be placed on your computer by website owners themselves (these are called first-party cookies) or by a separate third-party website which will allow content or advertising to be delivered to you (these are called third-party cookies).
What are your cookie choices?
We use cookies to allow the site to work for you, to improve your user experience, and to provide us with information about how our site is used. Here are the categories of the cookies that we use:
Strictly necessary cookies (first-party). These cookies are essential for a website to operate securely and deliver the information you need. They can't be turned off.
Functional cookies (first-party). These are the cookies which give you a better, more relevant experience on the site.
Performance cookies (first or third-party). help website-owners like us make improvements to our sites by collecting information about our users. This could be information such as how many people visited our sites, how long they stayed on our sites, and what pages they looked at.
Marketing cookies (first or third-party). These are the cookies which allow us to deliver you the content you need for free.
When you visit our site, you have an option to accept all cookies or choose the type of cookies you're comfortable to be placed on your device. We'll remember your choice for 30 days and ask for your consent again after this time, or every time after you clear your cookies.
Changing your cookie preferences
You can change your cookie preference at any time for all of the cookies - except those that are the strictly necessary ones. Without these strictly necessary cookies our websites just won't work, and we won't be able to deliver any kind of content to you. These cookies are placed by default when you visit our site and are always active.
You can change your preference for the other three categories at any time by revisiting this page and clicking on 'Manage Cookies'.
Whenever you deactivate functional cookies, we clear these from your devices.
If you deactivate performance or marketing cookies, you'll need to clear your browser data to remove these cookies, as they may include third-party cookies (that aren't managed by us directly).
To clear your cookies please go to your browser settings and select 'Privacy and Security' and look for 'Cookies'. You can then clear individual cookies, or clear all cookies at once.
You can also set your device to accept all cookies, to notify you when a cookie is issued, or not to receive cookies at all. You can usually find these settings in the 'Options' or 'Preferences' menu of your browser.
