Understanding Cookies

The word ‘cookie’ describes a small file a site stores on your device through your browser, readable on later visits. Pixels, local storage and device identifiers do the same work; everything below applies to those as well as to cookies proper.

Partner Cookies

Cookies originating from analytics and advertising partners fall under their own privacy policies rather than this one, and their handling of the resulting data is theirs to explain. Collective opt-out tools are provided by the DAA, the NAI and Your Online Choices in Europe.

What Gets Set

Three groups. Essential: needed for the site to work at all, including security and storing your own cookie preference. Analytics: used where an analytics tool is running, to count visits and page views in aggregate. Advertising: set by ad partners where advertising is served, for frequency capping, measurement and personalisation.

Adjusting Preferences

Every browser can block or delete cookies — look under privacy or site settings. Where a consent banner is presented, your choice there is stored and honoured. We also respect Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control signals. Blocking essential cookies will break parts of the site; blocking analytics and advertising cookies will not.
