What cookies are

Cookies are small files placed on your device when you visit a website. They let the site function, remember your preferences, and in some cases record how the site is used.

The cookies we use

Strictly necessary. Required for the site to work — security, load balancing and remembering your cookie choices. These are set without consent because the site cannot function without them.

Analytics. These tell us which pages are read and how visitors arrive. They are only set if you accept them.

Functional. These remember preferences such as language. Only set if you accept them.

Your choices

When you first visit the site you will be asked which categories you accept. Nothing other than strictly necessary cookies is set before you choose. You can change your choice at any time through the cookie settings link in our footer.

You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings, though parts of the site may then not work as intended.

Why we ask

The Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations require your consent before non-essential cookies are placed on your device. How we handle the personal data those cookies generate is covered by our Privacy Policy.
