Cookies policy

We use cookies on this website. You'll see a notice about them the first time you visit, which links back to this page. This policy sits alongside our privacy notice.

1.Information about cookies

A cookie is a small text file placed onto your computer, or other device, when you visit a website.

There are four different types of cookie:

• Strictly necessary cookies — required for the website to run. These let you do things like log in securely.
• Performance cookies — these measure how many visitors use the site, which pages they visit and how they interact with it. They help us improve the website.
• Functionality cookies — these remember a visitor's preferences for how they use the site, such as language settings or font size.
• Targeting and advertising cookies — these collect information about individual visitors so that the site owner, or third parties, can serve them relevant advertisements. We do not use these.

We use cookies on our website in order to:

• make your experience of the site more efficient;
• improve our services;
• understand how visitors use the site and which pages get read;
• carry out research and analysis to improve our content and better understand what visitors need.

Your web browser places cookies on your device for record-keeping purposes, and sometimes to track information about you. We've set out exactly what we use, and what each one does, in Section 4 below.

2.Third-party cookies

Like many other websites, third parties may also set cookies in connection with our website. Those third parties are responsible for the cookies they set, and we have no control over them. We name every one of them in Section 4, along with a link to their own privacy policy.

3.Managing cookies

You can manage cookies yourself. You can set your web browser to refuse cookies, delete cookies, or alert you when cookies are being sent.

You'll need to visit your browser's own site to do this, but for ease we've linked the main ones below.

Please note that if you change or block cookies:

• some parts of our website may not function properly, or as well as they otherwise might;
