Cookies are small text files that a website downloads onto your computer or other internet-enabled devices (such as mobile phones and tablets) when you visit a website. The cookies will help the website recognise your device the next time you visit.
Cookies can be used for a variety of purposes such as remembering your preferences, measuring your activity and optimising your user experience.
Most cookies won’t collect information that identifies you. Instead, they will collect more general information such as your general location or how you arrive at and use our websites.

If you do not allow these cookies you may not be able to use or see these sharing tools.
- Performance cookies: These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site.

Analysing visitor behaviour
We use cookies to analyse how our visitors use our websites and to monitor website performance. This allows us to provide a high-quality experience by making sure that our content and layout remains relevant to you. For example, we use cookies to keep track of which pages and links are most popular and which are not providing the information that’s required by our visitors.
-
