This Cookie notice provides you with information about the cookies we use and the purposes for which we use them.

We use cookies to help ensure that our website and services are able to function properly. These cookies are necessary and so are set automatically.

What are cookies?
Cookies are small pieces of data that websites store on your browser when you visit them. Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognise your visit and collect information about how you use that website.
Strictly necessary cookies
Strictly necessary cookies ensure that our website is able to function properly, and include cookies that help you log on, that provide core services and features, that help keep our website secure and that help us detect fraud or crime. We don’t have to ask for your consent to store these cookies on your browser. We’ve listed the categories of these strictly necessary cookies in our Cookie notice.
| Who else sets these cookies? | For what purpose? |
|---|---|
| Tealium (Tag Management) | To allow us to control the deployment of tags (software that enhances our website) and also to enable the capture and respect of consent preferences obtained from our users. |
| Aventri LLC | To allow you to navigate the site and use its services and features. Without these necessary cookies, the site will not perform as smoothly for you as we would like and we may not be able to provide certain services or features. |
Optional cookies
We’d also like to use cookies to provide optional features, improve our website and support our marketing. Where relevant, our trusted partners will help us make use of these optional cookies.
To make it easier to choose which optional cookies to accept, we’ve organised these cookies by category. These are set out below.

How we remember your cookie preferences
Your preferences are stored in cookies stored on your browser. If you switch off a category of cookies that you’ve previously accepted, then for technical reasons those cookies will not be deleted.
To delete cookies from your browser, we recommend that you clear your browser data. If you do this, or change browser, we’ll ask for your preferences again when you next visit our website.
Cookie duration and your browser settings
The length of time for which cookies are stored on your browser varies depending on the cookie. Some cookies only last for your online session, whereas others will stay on your browser for a reasonable time afterwards. Unless we’ve given a specific time in the list of cookies above, the cookies set via our website will usually last up to 13 and 24 months after your most recent visit to our site.
Some of our partners in the list above also use the same cookies to collect information about the use of their own or other websites. In these cases, the cookie can remain on your device, usually for up to 24 months from your last visit to the site that accessed that cookie.
You can use your browser settings to delete cookies that have already been set at any time. You can also use your browser settings to manage cookies, for example, to switch off a cookie altogether. If you do this, it could mean that we can't use strictly necessary cookies properly and so parts of our website may not work correctly. For more information about how to use your browser settings to clear your browser data or to manage cookies, check your browser 'Help' function.
