What’s a cookie?

A “cookie” is a piece of information that is stored on your computer’s hard drive if you agree to this and which records how you move your way around a website so that, when you revisit that website, it can present tailored options based on the information stored about your last visit. Cookies can also be used to analyse traffic and for advertising and marketing purposes.

• Targeting cookies: These cookies record your visit to a website, the pages you have visited and the links you have followed, usually so that advertising can be made more relevant to your interests. We do not use targeting cookies on this website.
• First and third party cookies: First party cookies are cookies set by our website.
