2. What are cookies?
A web cookie (also known as a HTTP cookie, browser or internet cookie) is a small text file containing a string of characters that are sent to your computer when you visit a website. When you visit the website again, the cookie allows that site to recognise your browser. Cookies may store user preferences and other information. They may also act as a convenience feature, designed to save you time by informing the web server that you have returned to a specific page you’ve visited previously.
Why do we use them?
Our websites use cookies to distinguish you from other users. This helps us to provide you with a good experience when you browse our website and allows us to improve the site. There are different types of cookies, with different functions. Whilst some are required for technical reasons to keep our websites functioning (such as "Strictly necessary" cookies), other types of cookies enable us to track the interests of our users and provide relevant content, to enhance the user experience on our websites.
You can find out more about the different types of cookies below.

• Third party cookies - Cookies set by parties other than the website owner. They enable third party features or functionality to be provided via our websites for example, interactive content, contact form functionality, advertising or analytics). The third party who sets these third-party cookies can recognise your computer, both when it visits the website in question and when it visits certain other websites.
By duration: A cookie consent banner may use both session and persistent cookies. The session cookies will remember your choice within your current visit, whilst the persistent cookie will remember your choice across multiple visits.

4. How do we use cookies?
• Strictly necessary cookies - These cookies are essential for our website to function properly and therefore are always active when browsing the site*. Whilst they do not store any personally identifiable information, they do allow us to save your cookie preferences and enable security features, using tools such as GDPR Cookie Compliance and Cloudflare.
You can block these through your browser settings manually, but this may impact your website experience, and we won't be able to save your preferences; meaning each time you visit our website, you'll need to enable or disable cookies again.
• Analytics / performance cookies - These cookies allow us to collect anonymous, aggregated information through tools such as Google Analytics*, to better understand how you interact with our website. This allows us to measure and improve site performance by tracking key metrics such as views, traffic sources and other user behaviour, including most visited pages.
Disabling these cookies may affect certain features and prevent us from gaining essential insight into how we can improve the overall user experience for clients, customers and partners alike.
You can reject Google Analytics cookies by rejecting the Analytical / Performance category within our Cookie consent manager, however this will reject all cookies within this category. Alternatively, you can opt out of being tracked by Google Analytics across all websites (including our websites) by visiting http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
• Targeting cookies - These cookies help us provide you with more relevant and tailored marketing content, based on your browsing activity on our website. We may share this data with advertising partners to deliver sponsored content via targeted placements on other websites online. We may also employ technology used to measure the effectiveness of these advertisements, this will involve adding floodlight pixels and tags to our online channels, to collect supplementary data for enhanced relevance and targeting.
Whilst these cookies don’t store personally identifiable information, such as name and contact details (unless you choose to provide this), they work by uniquely identifying your browser and device. If you disable these cookies, we won’t be able to show you tailored advertising content; for example, goods and services you may be interested in.
You can reject Google Ads cookies by rejecting the Targeting category within our Cookie consent manager; however this will reject all cookies within this category. Alternatively, you can manage the ads Google shows you by navigating to https://myadcenter.google.com/
