Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files kept in your browser so that our pages recognise your device on your next visit. Some of them keep secure parts of our pages working, others make your visit quicker and more personal and show us how the pages are used. A banner on your first visit lets you decide which ones you accept.

Strictly necessary

These let you move around our pages and use secure areas and online registration. They collect nothing for marketing, and with them switched off we cannot keep your visit secure or predict how the pages behave.

Performance

These record, without naming you, which pages you open and whether you meet any errors. We use that to improve our pages and to judge how well our advertising works.

Functionality

These remember choices such as your language or region, so you do not have to set them again each time. Some are run by third parties.

Targeting and tracking

These help us work out which advertising is most relevant to you, based on the parts of our pages you visit.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to follow browsing patterns and tailor your experience. You can opt out per browser. The opt-out is itself a cookie, so after clearing your cookies you need to opt out again.

Controlling cookies

Every modern browser, including Chrome, Firefox, Microsoft Edge and Safari, lets you view cookies and delete some or all of them, usually under options or preferences. You can also block cookies, but blocking the strictly necessary ones may stop parts of our pages from working for you.
