We use cookies on the Website, which among other things, help us to improve your experience of the Website and to ensure that it performs as you expect it to. Cookies are text files containing small amounts of information which are downloaded to your computer or mobile device by websites that you visit. They can improve your experience of using a website, for example, by remembering your preference settings and tracking your use of a website so that it can be improved to meet your needs. They can also help to ensure that adverts you see online are more relevant to you and your interests.
Websites must get consent to send cookies to your computer or mobile device unless the cookies are strictly necessary to provide services to you.
Unless a cookie is strictly necessary, you can withdraw your consent to our cookies at any time even if you have previously consented. Please do remember that if you do not consent to our functionality cookies, parts of our website will not work.
The tables below explain what cookies we use on the Website, why we use them and whether they are strictly necessary or another type of cookie e.g. “functionality” or “performance” cookies. We also state in the table whether a cookie is a “persistent” or “session” cookie. The difference is that:
- Persistent cookies remain on your device between browsing sessions. They are activated each time you visit the website that created that particular cookie. For example, where a “persistent cookie” is used on the Website to remember your log-in details, you will not need to enter those details each time you visit the Website.
- Session cookies allow website operators to link the actions of a user during a browser session. A browser session starts when you open the browser window and finishes when you close the browser window. Session cookies are created temporarily. Once you close the browser, all session cookies are deleted.
Some of the cookies listed below are those set by the Website when you visit. However, we also have cookies on the Website that are set by third parties. These third parties may collect information about your use of the website over time and across different websites.
Strictly necessary
Strictly necessary cookies are essential to enable you to receive a service on the Website. For example, to comply with the law (e.g. such as to keep your information safe), navigate the site and use its features such as accessing secure areas and processing payments. We would not be able to operate the Website without using the “strictly necessary” cookies listed below.

Functionality cookies allow the Website to remember choices you make (such as your unsername, language or region) and customised preference settings.

Information collected by “functionality” cookies may or may not be anonymised, but they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.
