What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that may be stored on, or accessed through, your browser or device when you visit a website. They can help a site recognise a browser during a visit or on a later visit. Similar technologies can perform related functions, such as remembering a choice or helping a page operate as expected.
Some technologies may be placed by the operator of this website, often called first-party cookies. Where services are used, other technologies may be placed by a service provider, often called third-party cookies. Their use can depend on the page, the service involved and the choices you make.
Why they may be used
- To support core website operation, security and the reliable delivery of pages.
- To remember relevant choices where that function is available, so a return visit can be more consistent.
- To understand how website pages are used or perform, where applicable, so the website can be reviewed and improved.
