1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site work, remember your preferences, and give the site owner information about how the site is used. We also use similar technologies such as local storage, pixels and tags, and we refer to all of these as "cookies" in this policy.
2. How we use cookies
Under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and UK GDPR, we ask for your consent before placing any cookies that are not strictly necessary. The cookies we use fall into these categories:
Strictly necessary cookies. These make the site work, for example by remembering your cookie choices, keeping you logged in, or keeping items in a basket. They do not need your consent and cannot be switched off in our systems.
Analytics cookies. These tell us how visitors use the site, such as which pages are most popular, so we can improve it. They are only set if you consent.
Functionality cookies. These remember choices you make, such as language or region, to give you a more personalised experience. They are only set if you consent, unless strictly necessary for a feature you asked for.
Marketing and advertising cookies. These track your browsing across sites to show relevant adverts. They are only set if you consent.
3. Third-party cookies
Some cookies are set by third parties whose services we use, such as Google Analytics and social media buttons. We do not control these cookies. Please see the relevant provider's privacy and cookie policies for more information.
4. Managing your cookie preferences
When you first visit the site, a banner asks you to accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can change your mind at any time by clicking the "Cookie preferences" link in the footer of the site.
You can also control cookies through your browser settings, including blocking or deleting them. How you do this depends on your browser, and guidance is available at allaboutcookies.org. Blocking all cookies may stop parts of this site from working properly.
If you use Google Analytics, you can also install Google's browser add-on to opt out: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
