This policy explains what cookies and similar technologies we use, what they do, and how you can control them. It should be read with our Privacy Policy.
1. WHAT COOKIES ARE
A cookie is a small text file placed on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies include pixels, tags, local storage and software development kits in a mobile app. In this policy we call all of them cookies.
Cookies let a site remember your actions and preferences, keep you signed in, and help us understand how the site is used.
2. THE LAW THAT APPLIES
Regulation 6 of the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003 requires us to tell you about the cookies we use and to obtain your consent before we set them, unless a cookie is strictly necessary for a service you have requested.
Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent. Everything else does, including analytics. We do not set non essential cookies before you have given consent, and consent is not bundled with acceptance of our terms.
