A “cookie” is a small file of letters and numbers that are stored locally on your computer or mobile device. Cookies are a specific technology that store information. This website uses cookies, including essential cookies, to ensure the security and running of this website.

We also use optional cookies to analyse our site performance, continually optimise our website and personalise your site experience. You can manage your preference of accepting or rejecting these optional cookies and can change your preference at any time.

We use the following types of cookies on our website (which may include cookies from third party sites):

Essential Cookies

Essential data collected is for the website to operate and to maintain your security and privacy while using the website. Data is not used for marketing purposes, or for the purposes covered by the other three categories below. These strictly necessary cookies are always on, as without this data the services you've asked for can't be provided.

Performance & Analytical Cookies

Data collected in this category is used to inform us of the analytics of how the website is used, conduct website improvements and identify issues you may have when using our web services. This data is not used to target you with online advertising and does not contain personal data.

Functional Profile Cookies

This category of cookies is used to recognise you returning to the website: examples of this cookie type include language and region preference or to comment on a blog post.

Marketing / Targeting Cookies

Data collected in this category is used to help make our messages more relevant to you, allowing us to understand a user’s interests and direct them to our products and services that might be helpful. This data can be shared with third parties, such as advertisers and social media platforms we may use to deliver personalised advertisements and messages. If you don't wish to consent to this category, it's important to note that you may still receive generic advertising or service messages, but they will be less relevant to you.

Session cookies expire at the end of a browser session (normally when a user exits their browser) and cookies that can be stored for longer are called ‘persistent cookies’.

Session cookies allow websites to recognise and link the actions of a user during a browsing session. They may be used to maintain log in level security and remember what a user is browsing.

Persistent cookies are stored on a user’s device in-between sessions, examples of these include when the website has noted the user’s preferences and for targeted marketing.

Our website uses ‘First Party’ cookies, which are set directly by our website and some ‘Third Party’ cookies to enable the use of social media plug ins and advertising.

In addition to the cookies we use on this website, we also use cookies and similar technologies in some emails and push notifications. These help us to understand whether you have opened the email and how you have interacted with it. If you have enabled images, cookies may be set on your computer or mobile device. Cookies will also be set if you click on any link within the email.
