About Cookies
Why do you use cookies?
We use cookies to store your preferences (e.g. locale and language preferences) as you navigate through the site; for analytics purposes (i.e. to see how users browse around our website), which helps us to identify popular content; for interaction with social media; and, where applicable, to allow users to log in to our site.
Websites are ‘stateless’; each page exists in isolation, and so information can only be passed through URL parameters (the bits of text you sometimes see after a website address which start with a question mark), form parameters, or cookies. Cookies are the ‘cleanest’ and least intrusive (from a user’s point of view) and easiest to manage (from a website developer’s point of view) method for maintaining ‘state’ throughout your visit to a website.
Without the use of a cookie, you would be asked for the information stored in the cookie or to log in on every single page of the website!

Blocking and Removing Cookies
Any cookies can be blocked or removed from your browser at any time by following the relevant procedure specific to your browser. You retain full control of which cookies exist on your computer. You may also block the creation of cookies from all or individual sites.
You may block cookies on this site, but the site may not function as designed and you will be unable to log in where appropriate or retain any user preferences, so information may appear in the wrong locale or be unavailable.
HTML5 Local Storage
We also make use of browser local storage to maintain device-specific information on when notifications or pop-ups/pop-outs have been displayed and/or acknowledged. No personal information is stored in this manner and this information is only accessible locally via javascript.
