Introduction

Our website uses cookies to distinguish you from other users of our site. This enables us to make our website work, helps us to provide you with a good experience when you browse our site and also allows us to improve our website.

A cookie is a small file of letters and numbers that we store on your browser or the hard drive of your computer if you agree. Cookies contain information that is transferred to your computer's hard drive. We have set out more information on cookies below, and also listed all the cookies that we use and why.

What types of cookie do we use?

• Necessary cookies: these help make a website usable by enabling basic functions like page navigation and access to secure areas of a website. A website cannot operate properly without these cookies.
• Functional cookies: these are used to recognise you when you return to a website. This enables website owners to, for example, personalise content for you, greet you by name and remember your preferences (e.g. your choice of language or region).
• Analytical cookies: these help website owners to understand how visitors interact with their sites by collecting and reporting information (e.g. they allow website owners to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around the website when they are using it). This helps the owners of the site improve the way the website works, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily.
• Marketing cookies: these are also referred to as targeting cookies and are used to track visitors across websites. The intention is to display ads that are relevant and engaging for the individual user and thereby more valuable for publishers and third party advertisers. Information may also be shared with third parties for this purpose.

Important information about cookies

Please note that third parties (including, for example, advertising networks and providers of external services like web traffic analysis services) may also use cookies, over which we have no control. These cookies are likely to be analytical cookies or marketing cookies.
