OUR COOKIE POLICY
When you use our sites, we collect information by using ‘cookies’. By continuing to use this site, you agree to us and third party organisations using cookies in line with your cookie settings. You can change your preferences within your browser at any time. For information about how your personal information is used please see our Terms & Conditions.
What are cookies and how do they work?
Cookies are small bits of text that are downloaded to your computer or other device when you visit a website. Your browser sends these cookies back to the website every time you visit the site again, so it can recognise you and can then tailor what you see on the screen.
What do we use cookies for?
We have summarised the cookie types into the following two categories:
- To provide you with the service you have asked for (Essential cookies) For example keeping you logged in during your visit. Without cookies the site might forget you and you’d have to constantly log back in. When you shop, cookies make sure products remain in your shopping basket when you get to the checkout.
- To analyse and improve your browsing experience (Analytics & Customisation cookies) For example, for analysis purposes, we like to know what pages and links are popular and which ones don’t get used so much to help us keep our sites relevant and up to date. We also use them to customise your visits to the site, for example to remember choices you make.
Using browser settings to manage cookies.
Most browsers will enable you to manage your cookies preferences e.g. have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie or use it to disable cookies altogether. If you do decide to disable or delete them altogether some sites won’t work as well as they rely on cookies to provide you with a personalised browsing experience.
