What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device — your computer, tablet or phone — when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the site’s owners.

How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for a number of purposes. The main categories are set out below:
- Essential — necessary for the website to function, such as page navigation, security and access to secure areas. The site cannot work properly without these.
- Performance and analytics — help us understand how visitors use our site by collecting anonymous information, so we can measure and improve how it performs.
- Functional — remember choices you make, such as your region or text preferences, to provide a more personalised experience.
- Third-party — set by external services we use, such as embedded video, social media features or advertising partners.
