We use cookies for lots of different reasons, for example to make our Website work and to distinguish you from other users of our Website, to offer a better experience when using our Website, to offer a personalised experience and to use analytics to make improvements to your online experience.

    1. Necessary cookies: these are cookies which are strictly necessary for the performance of our Website and to maintain the security and stability of our Website. These cookies remember your choices to improve your experience. For example, our Website uses a pop-up welcome message when you first visit the Website; we’ll use a cookie to record that you have seen it so that we don’t show it to you again. The aim of these cookies is to ensure the functioning of our Website and services.

This helps us to improve the way our Website works, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily.
