1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that can be stored on your computer, phone, tablet or other device when you visit a website.
Cookies can be used for different purposes, including helping a website function, remembering preferences, understanding how people use a website and, where applicable, supporting marketing or advertising.
The rules also apply to technologies that perform similar functions, such as certain forms of web storage, tracking pixels, scripts and other technologies that store or access information on your device.
2. How we use cookies
We may use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:
Strictly necessary
These are technologies that are required for the website or a service you have requested to function properly.
- Website security
- Essential website functionality
- Remembering your cookie preferences
- Maintaining a website session
- Providing functionality you have specifically requested
Strictly necessary technologies may be used without consent where they meet the relevant exemption under applicable law.
Preferences
These technologies may allow the website to remember choices you make and provide a more personalised experience. Where consent is required, we will ask for your consent before using them.
Analytics
We may use analytics technologies to understand how visitors use our website, such as which pages are visited and how the website performs. Analytics cookies are not automatically considered strictly necessary and require appropriate consent where applicable.
If analytics are introduced, we will identify the relevant provider and technology in our cookie information.
Marketing and advertising
We do not currently use advertising or behavioural tracking cookies unless specifically stated in this policy and presented through our cookie consent mechanism.
If this changes, we will update this policy and obtain the appropriate consent before using non-essential marketing or advertising technologies.
