What a Cookie Is

A cookie is a small piece of data a website stores in your browser and reads back on a later request. It is how sites remember anything at all between page loads. Where this policy says ‘cookies’ it also means comparable technologies: local storage, web beacons, pixels and device identifiers.

Groups of Cookies

Three groups. Essential: needed for the site to work at all, including security and storing your own cookie preference. Analytics: used where an analytics tool is running, to count visits and page views in aggregate. Advertising: set by ad partners where advertising is served, for frequency capping, measurement and personalisation.

Adjusting Preferences

Cookies can be blocked or removed from your browser’s privacy settings, and the consent banner (where shown) stores your decision. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control signals are respected. Bear in mind that essential cookies are load-bearing for site function, while analytics and advertising cookies are not.

Third-Party Cookies

Where a third party sets a cookie through this site, that party’s privacy policy applies to it rather than ours. Several industry mechanisms let you opt out across many vendors at once — the DAA and NAI tools in the US, and Your Online Choices in the EU.
