What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file that a website places on your device. Cookies let a website remember things about your visit, such as what you typed into a form, so that the site works properly. Similar technologies, such as tracking pixels and local storage, do the same job in a different way. Where we say “cookies” in this policy, we mean all of them.
The law
Under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations, we may only place cookies on your device without asking you first if they are strictly necessary for the website to work or for a service you have asked for.
For every other cookie, including analytics and anything used for marketing, we must ask your permission before we set it, and it must be as easy to refuse as it is to accept.
You can change or withdraw your choice at any time using the link at the bottom of every page.
