Please read this cookies policy carefully as it contains important information on who we are and how we use cookies on our Website. This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which sets out who we are, how to contact us, what data is collected, how and why we collect, store, use and share personal information generally, as well as your rights in relation to your personal information and details of how to contact us and supervisory authorities if you have a complaint.

Cookies

A cookie is a small text file which is placed onto your device (e.g. your smartphone or other electronic device) when you use our Website. When we use cookies on our Website, you will always be informed by a pop-up within the Website. Cookies help us to recognise you and your device and allow us to store some information about your preferences or past actions, including your location data (for more information, please see our Privacy Policy). For example, we may monitor how many times you use our Website, which parts of the Website you go to, and location data. This information helps us to understand how our users use the Website. Some of this data will be aggregated or statistical, which means that we will not be able to identify you individually. For further information on cookies generally, including how to control and manage them, visit the guidance on cookies published by the UK Information Commissioner's Office, www.aboutcookies.org or www.allaboutcookies.org.

Consent to use cookies and changing settings

We will ask for your consent to place cookies or other similar technologies on your device, except where they are essential for us to provide you with a service that you have requested (e.g. to allow you to remain logged in to the Website as you navigate within it and use its functionalities). You can withdraw any consent to the use of cookies, or manage any other cookie preferences, by using the tool made available to you within the Website itself. You can then adjust sliders or untick boxes as appropriate to reflect your choice. It may be necessary to refresh or restart the Website for the updated settings to take effect.

Our use of cookies

We use cookies to help our Website function, to remember your preferences, and to understand how visitors use our Website so that we can improve it. Where cookies are not strictly necessary to provide a service you have requested, we will seek your consent before placing them on your device. Analytics cookies, where used, collect information in an anonymous form — including the number of visitors to the Website, where visitors have come to the Website from, and the pages they visited — to help us improve the way our Website works.

How to turn off all cookies and the consequences of doing so

If you do not want to accept any cookies, you may be able to change your device settings so that cookies (including those which are essential to the Website you have requested) are not accepted. If you do this, please be aware that you may lose some of the functionality of our Website and of other websites you use on your device. For further information about cookies and how to disable them, please go to the guidance on cookies published by the UK Information Commissioner's Office, www.aboutcookies.org or www.allaboutcookies.org.
