What are cookies?

Cookies are text files containing small amounts of information which are downloaded to your device when you visit our site. Cookies are then sent back to our site that recognises those cookies on each subsequent visit, enabling our site to recognise you.

Unless you have adjusted your browser settings to refuse cookies (and details of how to do this are signposted at the end of this notice), our site will set cookies as soon as you visit our site.

How and why we use cookies

We use cookies on our site to:

  • recognise you whenever you visit our site
  • remember the notifications you’ve seen so that we don’t show them to you again
  • allow you to navigate between pages efficiently
  • safeguard your privacy when you're using our site, automatically ending a secure session when you log out, or after 10 minutes
