What cookies are

A cookie is a small text file placed on your device when you visit a website. Cookies let a site remember your actions and preferences, and let its owner understand how the site is used. This policy also covers similar technologies such as pixels, tags and local storage.

The cookies we use

We group cookies into the categories below. The specific cookies in use are listed at [complete the cookie inventory: name, provider, purpose, duration, first or third party].

Strictly necessary

These are needed for the site to work — page delivery, security, load balancing and remembering your cookie choices. They cannot be switched off, and under UK law they do not require your consent.

Analytics and performance

These tell us how visitors use the site — which pages are viewed, how people arrive, and where things break — so we can improve it. They are only set with your consent.

Functionality

These remember choices you make, so the site can behave the way you expect on your next visit. They are only set with your consent.

Marketing

These are used to measure advertising and, where applicable, to show relevant advertising on other sites. They are only set with your consent. [Remove this section if no marketing or advertising cookies are used.]

Your consent

Under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations and the UK GDPR, we set non-essential cookies only where you have given consent. You can give or refuse consent when you first visit, and change your choice at any time using [link or instructions for the cookie preferences control]. Refusing non-essential cookies will not stop you using the site.

Managing cookies in your browser

You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Every major browser offers this, usually under privacy or security settings. Blocking all cookies, including strictly necessary ones, may stop parts of this site working.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when the cookies we use change. The date at the top shows when it was last revised.
