1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites function, to remember your preferences and to provide information about how the site is used.

2. Types of cookies we use

Our website distinguishes three categories of cookie:

  • Essential cookies — required for the basic operation of the site. These are set without consent as they are strictly necessary.
  • Analytics cookies — help us understand how the site is used. These are set only with your consent.
  • Preferences cookies — remember display and reading preferences. These are set only with your consent.

3. Third-party cookies

Where you have provided consent, third-party analytics services such as Google Analytics may set cookies to record aggregate usage of the site. These services are governed by their own privacy terms.

4. Managing cookies

You can accept, reject or manage cookies at any time via the cookie preferences panel that appears when you first visit the site. Your preferences are stored locally in your browser and can be updated at any point.

Most web browsers also allow you to view, delete or block cookies through their own settings. Please note that disabling essential cookies may affect the operation of the website.

5. Withdrawing consent

You may withdraw your consent to non-essential cookies at any time. In accordance with the guidance of the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), rejecting cookies must be as easy as accepting them, and we have designed our consent interface accordingly.
