What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by a web browser (e.g. Internet Explorer) that hold information about your previous visits to our site and may contain personal data relating to you. We use this information to offer you a more personal browsing experience and to enhance your use of our site. By using our site you consent to cookies being used in accordance with our policy.

For more information on privacy, personal data and cookies, visit the official ICO website at https://ico.org.uk/.

What do cookies do?

Cookies perform many different tasks within our website; however their key role is to remember your preferences so we can give you an improved service. If you've provided cookie consent preferences previously - we will remember them and apply them on your next visit (so don’t need to provide them again), this is an example of one of our cookies in action.
Cookies also ensure that any adverts you see online both on our website and on third party websites will be more relevant to your interests.

How do cookies help when you visit our site?

Cookies allow us to treat you as an individual; using knowledge gained from your previous visits and preferences we can tailor our site so that it is more personal to you, allows you greater interactivity and is easier to use.

Why are we telling you this?

To ensure you are completely aware of the types of cookies we use and to enable us to continue to bring you the best possible website experience, we are giving you a detailed outline of the cookies we use and their unique role in your website experience.

Types of cookies

  • Strictly necessary cookies - These cookies enable you to navigate our site and gain full access to its features and secure areas. Without these cookies the website may fail to operate correctly.
  • Performance cookies - These cookies remember information about how you and other visitors use our website. This gives us vital information such as which pages are visited most often and if visitors are receiving error messages from certain pages. Performance cookies (often known as web analytic cookies) don't collect any information that identifies the visitor and all information collected is aggregated and therefore anonymous. The role of these cookies is to allow us to analyse and improve the performance of our website ensuring you receive a consistent look, feel and experience and cannot currently be turned off.
  • Functionality cookies - These would be used for remembering choices you make using the website, e.g. a username, language choice, etc.
  • Targeting or advertising cookies - These cookies are used to deliver adverts more relevant to your personal interests. Alongside this they limit the amount of times you see an advert and measure the effectiveness of adverts. This means you won't keep seeing irrelevant adverts or the same adverts over and over. These cookies are usually placed by trusted third parties (such as advertising networks) who we have a relationship with. They remember that you have visited a website and what pages you have viewed and the information within the cookie is shared with other organisations such as advertisers. These third parties may combine data which we share with data from other sources such as other websites or mobile applications. This combined data may then be used to ensure that we can better target you with products and services that are relevant to you.
