For example, a website may be able to provide visitors with local weather reports or traffic news by storing their regional location in a cookie. These cookies can also be used to remember changes visitors have made to text size, fonts and other parts of web pages that visitors can customise. They may also be used to provide services visitors have asked for such as watching a video or commenting on a blog. The information these cookies collect may be anonymised and they cannot track browsing activity on other websites.
These cookies may be first party or third party cookies.
You can control whether or not these cookies are used through your browser or through our Cookie Preference Centre (see section on “How to manage cookies” below), however, without these cookies some or all of these services may not function optimally, and you might have to set preferences again on your next visit.

These cookies may be placed on our site by our advertising partners. They remember that a visitor has visited a website and this information is shared with other organisations such as advertisers. Quite often, Targeting cookies will be linked to site functionality provided by the other organisation. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites. They do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device.
These cookies may be first party or third party cookies.
You can control whether or not these cookies are used through your browser or through our Cookie Preference Centre (see section on “How to manage our cookies” below). If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.

How to manage our cookies
Using our Preference Centre
Our cookie Preference Centre gives website visitors options for blocking groups of cookies based on their Cookie Category. When you enter our website for the first time, our Strictly Necessary, Performance and Functionality cookies are already enabled, whilst our Targeting cookies are not. As mentioned above, our Strictly Necessary cookies cannot be disabled by the user as they are required for our website to operate. Although our Performance and Functionality cookies are not "strictly necessary" for our website to work, they will provide you with a better browsing experience.
You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clicking on the "Manage Your Cookie Settings" button at the top of this policy. This will lead you to the Preference Centre where you can then adjust the available sliders to "on" or "off" for each Cookie Category (except for the Strictly Necessary cookies) in order to enable or disable them. You may need to refresh your webpage for your new settings to take effect. If you choose to disable certain Performance or Functionality cookies, some features of the website may not work as intended and we may not remember your preferences, so you may have to manually adjust these preferences every time you visit our website.
