Cookie notice
What are cookies?
A cookie is a small text file which is transferred to your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies enable your browser to be recognised by the website.
They are widely used to “remember” you and your preferences, either for a single visit, through a “session cookie”, or for multiple repeat visits, using a “persistent cookie”. They ensure a consistent and efficient experience for visitors, and perform essential functions such as allowing users to register and remain logged in.
Cookies may be set by the site that you are visiting known as “first party cookies”, or by third parties, such as those who serve content or provide advertising or analytics services on the website, known as “third party cookies”.
There are different types of cookies, which perform different functions:
- Strictly Necessary Cookies: these cookies are essential for the operation of our website. They include, for example, cookies that enable users to log into secure areas of a website. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site will not then work.
- Analytical/Performance Cookies: these cookies allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our website when they are using it. This helps us to improve the way our website works, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily.
- Functionality Cookies: These are used to recognise you when you return to our website. This enables us to personalise our content for you, greet you by name and remember your preferences (for example, your choice of language or region).
- Targeting cookies: These cookies record your visit to our website, the pages you have visited and the links you have followed. We will use this information to make our website and the advertising displayed on it more relevant to your interests. We may also share this information with third parties for this purpose.
