Cookies,
explained clearly.
This Cookie Policy explains how cookies and similar technologies may be used on this website, what they are intended to do and how you can manage your preferences.
A simple guide
to cookies.
Cookies and similar technologies can help a website operate, remember settings, understand how pages are used and provide particular website functions.
This policy explains the categories that may be relevant to the website and the choices available where consent is required.
Small files, useful functions.
A cookie is a small piece of information stored on a device when a website is accessed. Cookies can be temporary or remain on a device for a defined period.
Similar rules may also apply to other technologies that store information on, or access information from, a user’s device.
This policy therefore uses the term “cookies” broadly where appropriate to describe cookies and similar website technologies.
Purpose matters.
Depending on the configuration of the website, cookies may be used for the following purposes:
- Supporting essential website functions.
- Maintaining website security and reliability.
- Remembering relevant website preferences.
- Understanding how website pages are used, where applicable.
- Supporting optional website functionality.
- Recording or maintaining cookie preference choices.
We do not use cookies simply because a technology is available. Technologies should have an identified purpose connected with the operation or improvement of the website.
Different cookies, different roles.
Keeping the website working.
Some cookies or similar technologies may be strictly necessary to provide a website function that has been requested by the visitor or to support the secure operation of the website.
Where a technology falls within an applicable exemption, it may be used without the same consent requirement that applies to non-essential technologies.
We will still provide appropriate information about relevant technologies where required.
Choices before optional use.
Where a cookie or similar technology is not strictly necessary and applicable rules require consent, it should not be activated before the relevant consent has been obtained.
Consent should be freely given, specific, informed and provided through a clear affirmative action.
Where an applicable consent mechanism is provided, you can choose whether to allow relevant optional technologies.
Your choice should not affect access to ordinary website content where the optional technology is not required for the requested service.
When another provider is involved.
Certain website functions may be provided by third-party technology providers. Depending on the tools actually installed, this may include hosting, security, analytics, embedded content or website functionality.
A third-party provider may set or access its own cookies or similar technologies. Where this occurs, the relevant provider may process information according to its own privacy information and terms.
We review third-party technologies used by the website and aim to ensure that the relevant information and consent arrangements are appropriate to the technology actually deployed.
What should be identified.
Where specific cookies are active on the website, the cookie information should identify the relevant details, including where appropriate:
- Cookie or technology name.
- Provider or source.
- Purpose.
- Category.
- First-party or third-party status.
- Session or persistent status.
- Relevant duration.
- Whether consent is required.
| Category | Purpose | Consent position |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Essential website operation, security or a function specifically requested by the visitor. | May fall within an applicable exemption. |
| Preference | Remembering relevant choices or settings. | Depends on the specific purpose and technology. |
| Analytics | Understanding website traffic and page usage. | Consent where required. |
| Third-party functionality | Supporting an embedded or externally provided website function. | Depends on the technology and purpose. |
You can change your choices.
Where the website provides a cookie preference mechanism, you can use it to review or change your choices for applicable optional technologies.
Where consent has been provided, the mechanism should provide a way to withdraw or change that consent with reasonable ease.
You can also use browser controls to delete, block or restrict cookies. Browser controls may vary between browsers and devices.
Keeping a record of preferences.
Where a consent management mechanism is used, information about cookie preferences may be recorded so that the website can respect the selected settings.
Consent records may include information needed to establish what choice was made, when it was made and which categories or purposes were covered.
Records are retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose and applicable compliance requirements.
When the website changes.
The cookies and similar technologies used by a website may change when plugins, analytics tools, embedded services, security systems or other website functions are added, removed or updated.
Where a new technology is introduced for a purpose that requires fresh consent, the relevant consent process will be updated accordingly.
This Cookie Policy may therefore be updated when the website’s technology or applicable requirements change.
Cookies and personal information.
Some cookies or similar technologies may involve information that relates to an identifiable individual. Where this occurs, the relevant information is handled in accordance with applicable data protection requirements.
Our Privacy Policy explains more broadly how personal information is collected, used, retained and protected.
