What types of cookies do we use on our website?
Essential/strictly necessary cookies
Some cookies are essential so that you can move around the website and use its features. Without these cookies, services you've asked for can't be provided. These cookies don't gather information about you that could be used for marketing or remember where you've been on the internet.

Functional cookies
Other cookies are non-essential but important to improving your experience on our website.

Performance cookies (for analytics)
To help us keep our website content relevant and up to date, we like to keep track of which pages and links are not only popular and performing well, but also those that aren’t, so we can make improvements. It's also very useful to be able to identify trends of how people find their way through our site.
Analytics cookies are used to gather this information. The information collected is anonymous and is grouped with the information from everyone else’s cookies. We can then see the overall patterns of usage rather than any one person’s activity. Analytics cookies only record activity on the site you are on and they are only used to improve how a website works.
