How we use cookies
We use cookies to make sure you get the best experience from your visit. They also help certain features to work better. Cookies also let us collect feedback and information about how you’ve used the site – so we can keep improving it for you.
The 3 types of cookie we use on our site:
- Required Cookies
These cookies are needed to help the site work. Without them you might not be able to get the information or service you've asked for. We also need them for things like recording when you see an error message. - Functional cookies
We use these to give you a better experience, like remembering your login details. They also help us to find areas we can improve and to collect and report on commercial data (like sales volumes).
They might also include tools that record videos of individual visits, showing things like where you click on the page, place your cursor, and where you fill in forms. This data is kept secure, and we only record what's typed into forms if really necessary. The rest of the time it's not visible in the recording. It is used to improve the website.
Other reporting tools which use cookies might include tools to prevent fraud and the abuse of our services - Advertising cookies
We use these to share information with advertising platforms we place adverts on. We sometimes use them to understand your interests so we can show you personalised ads.
Some of these cookies collect information about your online habits, like which websites you visit or searches you make online. We then use this information to make sure you see adverts that are relevant to you. We (or third parties and advertising networks on our behalf) may use them to show you ads we think you'll be interested in. You might see these across the internet.
What about links to other websites and their cookies?
We may link to other sites to give you extra information or services. Where a third party provides these, you may leave our website by clicking through to theirs. In this case, the cookie policy set out on the third party's website will apply. We won’t control this, so you should read their policy to find out what information they collect and how they use it.
