This policy explains what cookies we use and their purpose. It also gives you some information on how to reject and remove cookies.

What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files sent by a website’s server to a user’s computer and stored there. They can be used for a range of purposes, such as tailoring a website for a particular user, storing user preferences and login information, and improving the website experience.

Essential and non-essential cookies
Cookies can be categorised as essential or non-essential. You have the option of selecting which ones to accept or reject.

  • Essential cookies - these cookies are necessary to provide an online service (i.e. this website) which you have requested. The website will not function properly without them.
  • Non-essential cookies – these are any cookies that do not fall within the definition of essential. They’re often used to analyse how websites are used or to set preferences.

Session and persistent cookies
Cookies are classed as either ‘session’ or ‘persistent’, depending on how long they last after they are placed on your browser.

  • Session cookies – these last for as long as you keep your browser open. They expire when you close your browser.
  • Persistent cookies – these expire at a fixed point in time or if you manually delete them from your browser.
