What cookies are

Cookies are small files a site stores on your device. Some are needed for the site to work; others help us understand how the site is used.

Cookies we use

• Essential — required for the site to function, including session and login cookies. These cannot be switched off.
• Preferences — remember choices such as language, so the site returns in the language you last used.
• Analytics — aggregated page and referral statistics, used to see which pages are useful.
• Consent — record that you have chosen whether to accept optional cookies.

Managing consent

Where optional cookies are used, a consent banner appears and nothing optional is set until you choose. You can change your choice at any time from the banner link in the footer.

How long we keep them

Session cookies last until you close the browser. Persistent cookies are stored for the period stated in the consent record, after which they are deleted.

Third parties

Where we embed content from a channel partner or a map service, that service may set its own cookies under its own policy. We do not control those cookies.
