We set cookies.

Cookies are small pieces of information stored by your internet browser on to your computer’s hard drive. Like most website providers, we set cookies to enable us to make a link between you and the information you have provided to our website and therefore provide you with personalised content. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, although you can choose not to.

Without cookies, some areas of our website won’t work properly. They help you move around the secure areas of the website and do things you’ve specifically come to the website for.

Our cookies help us to recognise which parts of our website are interesting to you, so that we can highlight the pages that we think you’ll like. Some of these cookies are managed by third-parties, and you may wish to use the third-parties’ own tools to prevent these cookies.

 

What they do:

Remember things like products you view and information you enter in forms. Without cookies, this information would be lost every time you go to a new page.

Recognise that you have signed into a secure area of our website. Without them, you’d need to sign in each time you go to a new page.

Give us an overall picture of how people use our website by telling us things like the number of visitors to each page and what people do on the page, such as the links that they click on.
