Which cookies do you use?

Cookies are typically categorised as ‘session’ or ‘persistent’ cookies. Session cookies store details of progression through a website and are erased when the browser window is closed.

They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site will not then work. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.

  • Performance cookies (can switch on / off)
    These cookies tell us how visitors use our website, allow us to count visits so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous.

  • Functional cookies (can switch on / off)
