Like most companies, we use cookies on our website. Cookies are text files which are stored on your computer or other device when you visit our website. They allow us to distinguish you from other users of our website. This helps us to provide you with a positive experience when you browse our website and to improve our website.

First party cookies are set by us; third party cookies are set by a third party’s website, including our service providers. Our website has links to third party websites and applications, including video content hosted on third party platforms. Clicking on those links or interacting with that video content may allow third parties to collect or share data about you. In some jurisdictions, if you wish to interact with embedded videos you must turn on “Third Party Video Cookies”.

We use the following types of cookies:

  • Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site will not then work.
  • Functional Cookies: These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalisation. They may be set by us or by third party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies then some or all of these services may not function properly.
  • Performance Cookies: These cookies allow us to analyze your use of the site, such as counting visits and identifying traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site.
  • Third Party Video Cookies: These cookies are embedded by third party video providers to enable video player functionality on our website. If you do not allow these cookies, you may not be able to interact with videos embedded on our website.
