Cookies and Similar Technologies Notice

Effective from 23/09/2025

Version Number: 1.0

With cookies we can give you a better browsing experience, improve the quality of our services, and keep our marketing costs down.

Below, we’ve explained how and why we use cookies, and what each of them do. We’ve broken them down into four groups:

Strictly necessary cookies

We need these cookies to run our website — they let us save your cookie preferences, and keep the site secure. They’re always on.

Analytics

These let us use tools that show us how you interact with our products and improve our services. They help us find and fix problems for our customers, and they’re also known as analytical or performance cookies.

Advertising

Cookies that keep our marketing costs down. These cookies improve our marketing and keep our marketing costs down. We share this information in aggregate form with third parties, for the purpose of advertising.

Preferences

Cookies that make it possible to remember certain information about the user that can differentiate their experience from that of other users such as the language, the number of results to be shown when the user makes a search etc.

You can see each cookie we use and our reasons for using them below.

How to control cookies

You can choose to block cookies by activating the settings on your browser that allow you to refuse the setting of all or some cookies. However, if you use your browser settings to block all cookies (including essential cookies) you may not be able to access parts of the website. Your browser settings also allow you to delete all cookies stored on your device whenever you wish.

The UK Information Commissioner’s Office has provided the following guidance on controlling cookies:

• A number of websites provide detailed information on cookies, including AboutCookies.org and AllAboutCookies.org.
• The European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance website Your Online Choices allows you to install opt-out cookies across different advertising networks. Google has developed a browser add-on to allow users to opt-out of Google Analytics across all websites which use it. This is also available in the Chrome web store.
• Some browsers include a feature known as ‘Do Not Track’ or DNT. This allows you to indicate a preference that websites should not track you. However, whilst DNT is available in many browsers, websites are not required to recognise its request, so it may not always work. You can get help on how to use DNT in Microsoft Edge, Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Opera.
• For more information on how private browsing works as well as its limitations, visit the support pages for your browser: Microsoft Edge, Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Safari (IOS mobile and desktop) and Opera.

If you are concerned about specific types of cookies we use then we recommend:

• We also use Google Analytics to evaluate data from double-click cookies and AdWords for statistical purposes. If you do not want this, you can do so via the Ad Preferences Manager here: (http://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/?hl=en )
• Additional useful information on how to opt out from Google Analytics can be found here: https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/gajs/?%20hl=en#disable

If you are concerned about online tracking then we can recommend you:

• Install a privacy-friendly browser on your device, such as Mozilla Firefox, Firefox Focus or Brave;
• Install anti-tracking and ad-blocking plug-ins on that browser, such as uBlock, Ghostery or PrivacyBadger; and
• Use privacy-friendly web search engines, such as DuckDuckGo or Qwant.
• If you have any questions about the cookies or similar technologies in use on our website, please send an email to the address stated in the Privacy Policy.

If you have any questions please let us know.
