We occasionally incorporate functionality from other, reputable, websites. These websites may also set cookies, known as 'third party cookies'. We don't control third-party cookies and these may change at any time. We therefore haven't listed the names of individual third party cookies below.

Managing your cookies

When you first visit this website, we notify you that we use cookies and give you the choice to configure some privacy preferences by turning features on/off. You can change these privacy preferences at any time by clicking on the 'Cookies' tab at the top right of every page. If a feature is set to 'off', it will:

  • Block the feature so it doesn't run for you on this website.
  • Stop new cookies associated with the feature from being set.
  • 'Expire' any cookies associated with the feature that were previously set by this website - that is, change their expiration date to a date in the past. These expired cookies may still appear on your machine until your browser deletes them or you delete them manually. Please note that we cannot control third party cookies. You can delete these manually, if required (see below).
Deleting / Blocking cookies

You can delete the cookies stored on your computer at any time. You can also change your browser's privacy settings to block websites from storing cookies on your computer. To learn more about cookies, including how to manage or delete them, see: www.allaboutcookies.org.
