Cookies

This website uses cookies. Cookies are small text files containing information about your browsing session (e.g. which pages you visited), which are located in your browser directory. We use different types of cookies and each has a specific function.

Necessary cookies

These cookies are integral to the working of the website and allow you to navigate easily from page to page and perform certain functions. As a rule, cookies will make your browsing experience better. However, you may prefer to disable cookies on this site and on others. The most effective way to do this is to disable cookies in your browser. We suggest consulting the Help section of your browser or taking a look at the About Cookies website which offers guidance for all modern browsers.

Analytics cookies

We'd also like to use Analytics cookies to help us to improve our website by collecting and reporting information on how people use it. The cookies collect information in a way that does not directly identify anyone. These analytics help us understand the quality of engagement we’re generating, like how many people visit our site and whether they return again after a first visit. They therefore help us identify what’s working well and what we might do better. These are only switched on once you select “OK” in the cookies banner at the bottom of your screen.
