Cookies are used on our site to ensure that we give you the best experience on our website. If you continue without changing your settings, we'll assume that you are happy to receive all cookies on our website.
Some cookies are essential so you can move around the website and use its features. Without these cookies, some services you've asked for can't be provided. These cookies don't gather information about you that could be used for marketing or remembering where you've been on the internet.
Cookies are small bits of text that are downloaded to your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Your browser sends these cookies back to the website every time you visit the site again, so it can recognise you and tailor what you see on the screen.
Certain cookies are necessary in order for you to use our website. These are used "in-session" each time you visit and then expire when you leave the site. They're not stored on your computer and they don't contain any personal data. However, you can delete them via your browser if you wish to, though this will restrict the functions you're able to carry out on our site.
These enable you to carry out some essential functions on our site, such as maintaining log-in details for the session or a transaction. They also help by minimising the need to transfer information across the internet. They are not stored on your computer and they expire when you terminate your browser session or log out of certain areas.
A secure cookie is only used when a browser is visiting a server via HTTPS, ensuring that the cookie is always encrypted when transmitting from client to server. This makes the cookie less likely to be exposed to cookie theft via eavesdropping.
These are used to persist a user's preference across settings — for example, the open status of a carousel — and remain until the expiry date and time set by the web server, or until manually deleted by the user.
We like to keep track of what pages and links are popular, and which ones don't get used so much, to help us keep our site relevant and up to date. It's also useful to identify trends in how people navigate our site, helping us provide a more user-friendly experience.
Google Analytics tracking (and most web tracking software) uses cookies to provide meaningful reports about site visitors. However, Google Analytics cookies do not collect personal data about website visitors.
You'll find more information about cookies at www.allaboutcookies.org, which gives details on how to delete cookies from your computer. For information on how to do this on your mobile phone browser, please see your handset manual.
