We use cookies and similar technologies (also known as tags/pixels/beacons/floodlights) on our websites to personalise content and digital advertising, provide social media features and analyse traffic. This policy refers to both 'cookies' and 'similar technologies' as cookies.

What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, phone or other device by websites you visit.
They do not store or collect information about you such as your name but will instead collect information related to, for example, the devices you use to access the internet, your browser and your browsing history. Cookies are widely used to make websites work more efficiently for visitors, and to provide information to the owners of the site.
What are tags?
We use tags to transfer data collected from visitors to our websites to external sources like Facebook. We use them to track:
your interactions with our websites and digital adverts (for example, when you’ve downloaded content, clicked on an advert or viewed a video)
what pages you visit on our sites, how long you spent on those pages, how you got there and when you left them. This information can also be used to monitor digital advertising performance.
If you haven’t given permission for us to set cookies through the cookies banner that would have popped up when you first visited this site, your visit (and how you got here) won’t be tracked by us. However, if you visit this site using a different device and/browser in the future, you will need to provide us with your cookie preferences again.

Cookies can either be first-party (i.e. they’re owned by the website who set them) or third-party (i.e. they’re not owned by the website who set them).
