What is a Cookie?
A cookie is a small text file that may be stored on your computer or mobile device that contains data related to a website you visit. It may allow a website “remember” your actions or preferences over a period of time, or it may contain data related to the function or delivery of the site. Cookies can be set by the owner of the website or in some cases by third party services the website owner allows to present other information, run content or provide other functionality such as analytics. How are they used on this site? We use the following cookies:
• Required cookies. Without these cookies some or all of our websites won’t work the way you expect. For instance, we use session cookies which are used to deliver the basic functions of the website i.e. to allow pages to remember technical changes or selections you may make between pages. Session cookies are temporary cookies and are generally erased when you close your browser.
• Convenience cookies. Without these cookies you can still use our websites.
• Analytical cookies. These cookies are not needed for you to use our sites, but they do help us improve our website to make them easier to use and faster.
By clicking on buttons or links to third party sites or services, you will be redirected to an external site, which has its own cookie and privacy policies over which we have no control.
Managing Cookies
Within your browser you can choose whether you wish to accept cookies or not. Different browsers make different controls available to you and so we provide links below to popular manufacturers’ instructions on how you can do this. Generally, your browser will offer you the choice to accept, refuse or delete cookies at all times, or those from providers that website owners use (“third party cookies”), or those from specific websites.
This Cookie Policy forms part of our overall Privacy Statement.
