What are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your browser or the hard drive of your computer or other device when you visit the Website. This allows the Website to recognise you as a user either for the duration of your visit (using a ‘session cookie’) or for repeat visits (a ‘persistent cookie’). They are not harmful and do not contain any information such as your home address, date of birth or credit card details.

The cookies we use fall into four broad types:

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential in helping you to move around our Website and use its features. Without these cookies, services you have asked for cannot be provided. These cookies do not gather information about you that could be used for marketing or remembering where you've been on the internet.

Analytical/Performance Cookies

In order to keep the Website and its content relevant, easy to use and up to date, we use web analytics services to help us understand how people use our Website. For example, we can see which parts of our Website are most popular, identify when errors occur, and test different versions of a page or feature to see which one works best.

Functionality Cookies

These cookies allow websites and applications to remember choices you make (such as your language preferences) and provide enhanced, more personal features. The information these cookies collect is usually anonymised which means we can't identify you personally. They do not gather any information about you that could be used for selling advertising or remembering where you've been on the internet but do help us to serve you with content that is more relevant to you.

Targeted Marketing Cookies

We also use cookies to measure the effectiveness of our marketing communications, for example by telling us if you have responded to a communication that we have sent you.

If you would like more information on any of these types of Cookies, including how to opt-out, please visit http://www.youronlinechoices.com/. If you'd like to opt out of cookies, please go to the Network Advertising Initiative website. Please note that we're not responsible for the content of any external websites.

  • We also offer you the facility to share your experience on our Website through social media websites such as Facebook and Twitter. By using these features, you are consenting to allow cookies from these providers. More information about how these providers use cookies can be found at their websites.

Details of our Third Party Cookies

We allow selected third parties who participate with us in marketing programmes to place cookies when you visit our Website. These cookies enable us to monitor which adverts or communications you see and click on to get to our Website.

For details of the third party cookies we use please see the table below. We are not responsible for the content or privacy policies of third parties or other websites, and we advise that you check these yourself.

Opting Out

If you'd like to opt out, please do so using the cookie banner or cookie settings tab at the bottom of the Website, or go to the Network Advertising Initiative website (please note that we're not responsible for the content of any external websites).

Do not track (DNT) is a feature offered by some browsers, with some newer browsers offering it as default. If you enable it, it sends a signal to websites to request that your browsing isn't tracked, for example by third party ad or social networks, or analytic companies.

At present no industry-wide uniform standard has been agreed and adopted to determine how DNT requests should be managed, so our Website doesn’t currently respond to DNT requests. Until that standard is established, we'll continue to review DNT and other new technologies, but won't respond to DNT requests.

Website visitors who don’t want their data used by Google Analytics can either change their cookie preferences to block analytical / performance cookies on this site, or install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. To opt-out of Analytics for the web, visit the Google Analytics opt-out page and install the add-on for your browser. Learn more about the opt-out and how to properly install the browser add-on here.

Visitors can also opt-out of Google Analytics for Display Advertising and customize Google Display Network ads using the Ads Settings.
