What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small text file that may be stored on your computer or device when you visit a website, and can be accessed by the website that placed it.

Some cookies (“persistent” cookies) expire on a specified date and may be used to recognise you when you return to the website. Others (“session” cookies) are automatically deleted when you close your browser.

Some cookies are necessary for websites to operate correctly, and others perform useful functions such as remembering your preferences, keeping you logged into accounts and providing information to website owners about how you use their site. Cookies can also be used to track your browsing behaviour in order to personalise advertisements and other content displayed to you online.

How do we use cookies?

We use cookies to remember your preferences and to monitor how people use our website, to help us improve our site’s performance as well as the content we provide. We use third party plugins on our site (such as embedded videos) which may also set cookies that track your browsing behaviour for advertising purposes.
