What are cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone or tablet) when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the website owner.

Some cookies are set by the website you are visiting (first party cookies). Others are set by third parties who provide services to that website (third party cookies).

How we use cookies

We use cookies to:

• help our website function properly and securely
• remember your preferences, where relevant
• understand how visitors use our website so we can improve it
• support marketing activities where you have provided appropriate consent

Types of cookies we may use

Cookies generally fall into the following categories:

• Strictly necessary cookies
  These cookies are essential for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions you take which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms.
• Performance and analytics cookies
  These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us understand which pages are the most and least popular and how visitors move around the site. Information collected is typically aggregated and, where possible, anonymised.
• Functionality cookies
  These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalisation, such as remembering your preferences. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly.
• Marketing cookies
  These cookies may be set through our site by advertising or social media partners. They may be used to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites. These cookies rely on uniquely identifying your browser and device.

How long cookies remain on your device

Cookies can be either:

• Session cookies which are deleted when you close your browser
• Persistent cookies which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them

Managing your cookie preferences

You can control and manage cookies in several ways:

• Cookie consent tool
  Where our website provides a cookie banner or preference centre, you can use this to accept or reject non-essential cookies and update your preferences at any time.
• Browser settings
  Most web browsers allow you to manage cookies through the settings. You can usually choose to block or delete cookies, and you can set preferences for certain websites. Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may impact the functionality of our website.

Third party cookies

Some parts of our website may use services provided by third parties (for example analytics tools, embedded videos, or social media features). These third parties may set their own cookies and have their own privacy and cookie policies. We do not control third party cookies.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please check this page periodically for any updates.
