Why do we use cookies?
Using cookies allows us to record information which helps us to improve our service to you. By storing preferences you select on some pages of the website we can display pages in the way you choose across all pages of the website, rather than having to continually ask you (as we would have to do if we did not use cookies). And by tracking the way you use the website and the pages you visit, we can see which pages are most popular and see how you navigate around the website, which allows us to optimise the site’s content and layout to make subsequent visits easier and better.
Please note that:
- Third party vendors show our ads on sites on the internet.
- Third party vendors use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to our website.
- Some third parties may also use cookies on our website, over which we have no control, for example, advertising networks and providers of external services like web traffic analysis services. These third party cookies are likely to be analytical cookies or performance cookies or targeting cookies.
- Users can deactivate or opt out of a third party’s use of cookies by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative opt out page.
