How we use cookies on our website

We use cookies and similar tools across our websites to improve their performance and enhance your user experience. This policy explains how we do that.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files which a website may put on your computer or mobile device when you first visit a site or page. The cookie will help the website, or another website, to recognise your device the next time you visit. Web beacons or other similar files can also do the same thing. We use the term "cookies" in this policy to refer to all files that collect information in this way.

What cookies do we use?

Generally, this website may place the following Cookies:

Type of Cookie: Analytical/performance/functionality cookies

Purpose: They allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our website when they are using it. This helps us to provide a high quality experience by customising our offering and ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily. 

We utilise other cookies to monitor website performance. For example, we might use performance cookies to keep track of which pages are most popular, which method of linking between pages is most effective, and to determine why some pages are receiving error messages. This allows us to quickly identify and fix any issues that arise. We might also use these cookies to highlight articles or site services that we think will be of interest to you based on your usage of the website.

We use or allow third parties to serve cookies that fall into the categories above. For example, like many companies, we use outside vendors (e.g. Google Analytics) to help us monitor our website traffic. We may also use third party cookies to help us with market research, revenue tracking, improving site functionality and monitoring compliance with our terms and conditions and copyright policy.

Can a website user block cookies?
