Understanding Cookies

A cookie is a small piece of data a website stores in your browser and reads back on a later request. It is how sites remember anything at all between page loads. Where this policy says ‘cookies’ it also means comparable technologies: local storage, web beacons, pixels and device identifiers.

Managing What Is Set

To manage what is stored: use your browser’s privacy or site-data settings to block or clear cookies, and use the consent banner where one is shown. We honour both Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control. Analytics and advertising cookies can be refused with no loss of function; essential cookies cannot be refused without breaking the site.

Third-Party Cookies

Cookies originating from analytics and advertising partners fall under their own privacy policies rather than this one, and their handling of the resulting data is theirs to explain. Collective opt-out tools are provided by the DAA, the NAI and Your Online Choices in Europe.

Classes of Cookie

We group cookies as essential, analytics and advertising. Essential cookies cannot be disabled without degrading the site; they cover security and your stored cookie preference. Analytics cookies appear where an analytics provider is running and only produce aggregate figures. Advertising cookies appear where advertising is served and are controlled by the ad partners that set them.
