How we use cookies

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files of letters and numbers that are placed and stored on your computer by the websites you use. These files can be read by website servers and can be used to help identify you when you return to a website.

Cookies can either be first-party or third-party cookies. First-party cookies are those placed by our website, whereas third-party cookies are those placed by third parties through, for example, a plugin on our website like Google Maps. They can also be session (last for the duration of a session on the website) or persistent (continue once that session has ended).

We use the following cookies

• Essential cookies – these cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of the website. For example, cookies that help ensure that the content of a page loads quickly and effectively.
• Functionality cookies – these cookies are important for the website to operate, although not strictly necessary. For example, a cookie that remembers a user’s customised language settings.
• Analytics cookies – these cookies analyse or predict an individual’s preferences or behaviour. For example, by monitoring a user’s movements around the website.
• Marketing cookies – these cookies track and profile users for direct marketing and advertising. For example, a cookie that tracks someone from our website across to a social media website and shows adverts on that user’s social media page relating to our website.
