What is a cookie?

Cookies are text files containing small amounts of information which are downloaded to your device when you visit a website. Cookies are then sent back to the originating website on each subsequent visit, or to another website that recognises that cookie. Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognise a user’s device.

Cookies do lots of different jobs, like letting you navigate between pages efficiently remembering your preferences, and generally improve your website experience. They can also help to ensure that adverts you see online are more relevant to you and your interests.

Not all cookies are the same and it is your right to select which ones you are comfortable with.

You may also manage your browser cookies settings in line with your privacy requirements.

Within the Settings option of your preferred browser, select Privacy and Security to customise your cookie settings, alternatively, search ‘Cookies’ and manage accordingly.  If you choose to disable cookies, some features of our Site or Services may not operate as intended.
