Cookie policy.

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your computer, phone or other device when you visit it. They can help a website work, keep it secure and remember information between pages or visits.

Similar technologies include local storage, pixels and software development kits. This policy covers those technologies as well as cookies. Local storage saves information in your browser rather than in a cookie file.

We do not currently use analytics, advertising, social media tracking or other non-essential cookies on this website. We do not use cookies to build advertising profiles or follow you across other websites.

Our website platform and infrastructure providers may use strictly necessary cookies or browser storage to deliver the site, maintain security, balance traffic and support essential technical requests. Where authentication is used, session information may also be stored so the service can operate securely. These technologies are used for core functionality rather than marketing or audience measurement.

Because strictly necessary cookies and storage are required to provide the website or a service you request, they cannot usually be turned off through our systems. You can still control them through your browser, although blocking them may affect how the website works.

We use external providers to host and operate the website and to load the fonts that give it its look and feel. When your browser requests these resources, the provider may receive technical information such as your IP address and browser details. This is covered in our privacy policy.

Our website links to external websites, including our family businesses and the Information Commissioner's Office. Once you follow one of those links, the third party may use its own cookies. Please check that website's cookie policy and controls for details.

If we introduce non-essential cookies or similar technologies in future, we will ask for your consent before using them where required by law. You will be able to accept or reject optional categories and change your choice later. We will also update this policy to explain what is used, why and for how long.

Most browsers let you view, delete and block cookies through their settings. You can usually choose to block all cookies, accept only certain types, or delete cookies when you close the browser. Browser help pages explain the available controls:

• Google Chrome
• Mozilla Firefox
• Apple Safari
• Microsoft Edge

Restricting strictly necessary cookies or storage may affect security or prevent parts of a website from working correctly. Deleting cookies does not remove personal information we already hold through a separate enquiry; see our privacy policy or contact us about that information.

We may update this policy when our website, technology or legal obligations change. The latest version will be published on this page with its revision date.
