Our website uses cookies. This page explains what cookies are, how we use them on our website and how you can manage them.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. The cookie means that the website can 'remember' you, and how you've used the site, when you come back.
Cookies are widely used in order to make websites work, or work more efficiently.
Our cookies:
- Make our website work as you'd expect
- Keep your preferences intact between visits
- Improve the speed and security of our site
- Allow you to share pages with social networks
- Help us to improve our services
- Make our marketing more efficient – which in turn helps us to improve what we can do for you
Cookies themselves don't hold personal information, but they are unique to you. In many cases, we would not be able to link the information we collect by using a cookie back to you as an individual.
We do not use cookies to:
- Collect sensitive information
- Pay commissions
Cookies fall into four categories:
- Strictly necessary – these are required to help make our website work efficiently. This type of cookie only lasts for the duration of the time you are visiting the website. They are deleted automatically when you leave the website.
- Functionality – these enhance your experience by doing things such as remembering accessibility settings, or completing an online application form. These cookies stay on your computer until you choose to clear them.
- Performance and analysis – we use these to analyse how our website works (and how we should improve it).
- Targeting/advertising – these are used to share some information with third parties who we advertise with, so we know how you've reached our website. We can also use cookies to identify the parts of the website that you are interested in. We then use this information to tailor how we communicate with you, or to tailor the contents of the communications we send to you. If you prefer, you can opt out of these. Tailoring of content means it includes information reflecting the interest you've shown in the content of our web pages, and to improve how we respond to your needs.
