What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files. We put them on your computer or device when you visit our site. We use cookies to make our website work more efficiently. They give us information about the site or about you. We use these cookies on our sites:

• Strictly necessary cookies: these are the cookies our website needs to work properly. They include cookies that let you sign in to secure areas of our website.
• Analytical or performance cookies: these cookies let us recognise and count the number of visitors to our site. They let us see how visitors move around our website, too. That helps us improve the way our site works.
• Functionality cookies: these cookies recognise you when you come back to our site. They let us personalise content for you. With these cookies in place, we can greet you by name. We can also make the site more user-friendly by remembering your preferences (your language, for example).
