What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to make them work more efficiently, and to provide information to the site owner. Similar technologies (such as pixels and local storage) work in much the same way, and we refer to all of them as “cookies” in this policy.
Cookies may be:
- Session cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, or persistent cookies, which stay on your device until they expire or you delete them.
- First-party cookies, set by us, or third-party cookies, set by other organisations whose services we use.
How we use cookies
We use cookies to help our website function and, where you allow us to, to understand how visitors use it so we can improve it. The categories below describe the cookies we may use.
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as submitting a form or setting your privacy preferences. The website cannot work properly without them.
Functional cookies
These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality, such as remembering choices you make. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages.
Analytics / performance cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously (for example, which pages are most visited). This helps us improve how the site works.

To opt out of being tracked by analytics across many websites, you may also be able to use the relevant provider’s opt-out tools. You can also change your preferences at any time using the cookie settings link on our website.
