Cookie policy
The Website uses cookies to distinguish you from other users of the Website, improve your user experience and allow us to improve the Website.
Many websites use cookies in order to improve a user’s experience by allowing that website to ‘remember’ you. If a website doesn’t use cookies, it will think you are a new visitor every time you move to a new page on the site – for example, when you enter your login details and move to another page it won’t recognise you and it won’t be able to keep you logged in.
Cookies can either last only for the duration of your visit (using a ‘session cookie’) or remain on your device for repeat visits (using a ‘persistent cookie’). Cookies served by us while you are on the Website are called “first party cookies”. Cookies served by other companies that are not operating the Website are called “third party cookies.” So, we may allow Google to set a cookie on your browser while you visit the Website, which would be a third party cookie.
Your choices
Like many sites we use cookies on the Website to ensure that your experience of both our website and the digital service we provide to you is as smooth, relevant and enjoyable for you as possible. Some are essential to the Website functioning. Others are related to enhancing your experience, delivering you relevant content and adverts and providing us with insight. You have the right to choose whether or not to accept cookies or to disable these cookies at a later date.

You can manage cookies in your browser setting and control whether your browser will accept cookies, reject cookies or notify you each time a cookie is sent.
