What are cookies and what do they do?

Cookies are text files that are placed on websites on the internet. Each cookie includes the name of the website and a unique ID. We use cookies and similar tools on this website.

Cookies track things like how long a visitor spends on our website and what visitors do on our website (which pages they visit and which buttons they click on, for example). Cookies collect this information and share it with us, the website owner.

Cookies help us understand who uses our website and how we can improve it. For instance, we can understand which pages of our website are most popular with certain kinds of visitors. This allows us to understand what visitors like about our website and how we can make it more attractive for other visitors.

How do we use cookies?

Most of the cookies we use on our website are 'persistent' cookies. This means that they remain on your device until you erase them or they expire. The rest are 'session' based which are more temporary — they will be erased when you close your internet browser.

Necessary cookiesAlways active
Necessary cookies are placed on our website by default. We need them to run our website and detect any problems with it. For example, we use a cookie that tells us how busy the server is based on the number of visitors, and one that tracks your cookie privacy preferences so we do not place analytics, preferences and/or advertising cookies if you don't want us to. We do not need your consent to use necessary cookies.
Preferences cookies
We also use preferences cookies to remember our users while they are browsing our website. For example, we will remember your country and preferred language so that you see content which is relevant to you and in your language.
Analytics cookies
These allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors to our website, and see how visitors browse our website, so we can understand how our website content is performing and improve it where necessary.
Advertising cookies
Advertising cookies allow us to build a profile about you so we can provide more relevant ads. For example, we may track your browsing activity across different sites to understand your interests. We may share this information with other organisations, such as Meta and Google, for the same purpose.
