This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect, use and protect your personal information.

  1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet or other device when you visit a website.

Cookies allow a website to recognise your device and can be used for a number of different purposes. Some cookies are essential for a website to function, while others help us understand how visitors use our Website or improve your experience.

We may also use similar technologies, such as scripts, tags and local storage technologies, which can perform similar functions to cookies. For simplicity, we refer to these technologies collectively as “cookies” throughout this policy.

  1. How we use cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are essential for the Website to operate and provide features you have requested. They may support things such as website security, forms and core website functionality.

Where functionality cookies are not strictly necessary for the operation of the Website, we will ask for your consent before using them.

If this changes in the future, we will update this Cookie Policy and our cookie preference controls accordingly.

A “Manage Cookie Preferences” option is available on the Website so that you can revisit your choices after your initial visit.

The length of time a particular cookie remains on your device depends on its purpose and the provider responsible for it.

We review our cookie usage periodically and update the cookie information on this page when our use of cookies changes.
