What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files saved on your device when you visit a website. They help the site work, remember your choices and tell us how people use it.
Some cookies are set by us (first-party cookies). Others are set by services we use, such as Google (third-party cookies). We also use similar technologies, such as local storage and tracking scripts. In this policy, “cookies” covers all of these.
How we use cookies
We group our cookies into three types. Only strictly necessary cookies are set without your consent. Everything else is off until you say yes.
- Strictly necessary – needed for the website to work, keep it secure, stop spam on our forms and remember your cookie choices. You cannot switch these off.
- Analytics – help us understand how visitors use the site, such as which pages are popular and where people get stuck. We use this to improve the site.
- Marketing – used to show you relevant adverts on other sites and social media, and to measure how well our adverts work.
