What cookies are

A cookie is a small text file placed on your device when you visit a website. Cookies allow a site to recognise your device, to remember your preferences and to understand how the site is being used. Similar technologies, including pixels, tags and local storage, work in much the same way and are covered by this policy.

The cookies we use

Strictly necessary cookies keep the site working. They remember what you have entered on a form, keep the site secure and balance the load across our servers. The site cannot function properly without them and they do not require your consent.

Analytics cookies tell us how many people visit the site, which pages they look at and how they found us. We use this to improve the site. We only set these cookies if you accept them.

Functional cookies remember choices you have made, such as a preference you set on a form. We only set these cookies if you accept them.

Marketing cookies allow us and our advertising partners to measure the effectiveness of our advertising and to show you relevant advertising on other sites. We only set these cookies if you accept them.

Your choices

When you first visit the site you will be asked which cookies you accept. You can change your choice at any time using the cookie settings link in the footer. You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings, though doing so may affect how the site works.

Our use of cookies other than those that are strictly necessary is based on your consent, under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 and the UK General Data Protection Regulation. Where a cookie allows you to be identified, the information collected is handled in accordance with our Privacy Notice.

Where we use Google Analytics, information about your use of the site is processed by Google. You can find out more and opt out at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Our forms are protected by Google reCAPTCHA, which loads only when you start filling in a form. It is needed to keep the forms secure, so it is treated as strictly necessary and is not covered by your cookie choices. Google’s privacy policy and terms of service apply.
