What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site recognise your device, remember your preferences, and understand how you interact with the pages you view. Some cookies are necessary for the website to function properly, while others help us analyse performance or provide tailored content and advertising.

Types of Cookies We Use

We use different types of cookies to support the operation of our website and improve your experience. These may be set directly by us or by third parties acting on our behalf.

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are required for the basic operation of our website. Without these cookies some parts of the site will not work correctly. They are typically set in response to actions you take, such as navigating between pages, filling in forms, or adjusting privacy settings. Essential cookies help us provide secure log in areas if available, maintain session integrity, and deliver core features of the site. These cookies do not gather information for marketing purposes and cannot be disabled through our cookie tools, though you may be able to block them in your browser. However, doing so may affect the functionality and stability of the site.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies collect information about how visitors use our website, such as which pages are visited, how long visitors stay on each page, and whether they encounter any errors. We use this information in aggregated form to monitor the performance of the site and to understand which content is most useful to visitors. This performance monitoring helps us improve navigation, optimise page loading times, and enhance the overall user experience. Analytics cookies do not usually identify you directly, but they may use identifiers to recognise repeated visits from the same device so that we can measure trends over time.

Marketing Cookies

Marketing cookies are used to deliver content and advertisements that are more relevant to your interests. They may remember that you have visited our website and share this information with advertising partners so that you can be shown more appropriate messages on other websites or platforms. These cookies can also help us measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns by tracking actions such as visits after viewing or clicking on an advert. Marketing cookies typically involve the use of unique identifiers and may combine information about your browsing behaviour across different sites, where permitted by law.

How We Use Cookies for Performance Monitoring

A key purpose of our use of cookies is to monitor and improve the performance of our website. By analysing data from analytics and certain functional cookies, we can identify technical issues such as slow pages, broken links, or features that are not working correctly. We use this information to make technical improvements, refine our content, and ensure that our services are presented clearly and efficiently. Performance monitoring also helps us understand patterns of demand, such as busy periods, so we can maintain a reliable and responsive service.
