What cookies do
Cookies are small text records stored by a browser. Similar technologies may use local storage, pixels or identifiers to remember a choice, secure a service or measure how a website is used.
Some technologies are necessary for the website to operate. Others are optional and are used only in accordance with the visitor’s choice where consent is required.
Categories used on the website
- Strictly necessary
- Support security, network delivery, fraud prevention, consent records and functions specifically requested by the visitor. These cannot ordinarily be switched off through the website.
- Preferences
- Remember optional choices such as presentation or communication preferences.
- Analytics
- Help assess visits, performance and use so the publication can understand and improve the website. Non-essential analytics are subject to consent where required.
- Advertising measurement
- Measure a clearly identified commercial placement or limit repetition. These technologies are not used before consent where consent is required.
Your choice
Where a cookie control is presented, visitors may accept or reject non-essential categories and may revisit that choice. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that took place lawfully before withdrawal.
Browsers also allow cookies to be deleted or blocked. Blocking strictly necessary storage may prevent a requested service from working correctly.
Third-party services
Embedded media, payment services, email delivery, analytics and external links may be provided by another organisation. Where that organisation determines its own use of information, its privacy and cookie terms also apply.
The active consent interface, when shown, provides the most current service and retention details for optional technologies in use.
Questions and changes
This policy may be revised when services or legal requirements change. Material changes will be reflected by a new policy edition.
