Our cookies
We’ve categorised our cookies into 4 groups:
1) Strictly Necessary
You need these cookies for our websites and mobile apps to work properly. For example, if there is a local element to one of our websites, you’ll need these cookies to access it.
2) Performance
These cookies allow us to count the total amount of page visits and sources of traffic so we can measure and improve the performance of our sites and applications. They also enable us to see how users, on an anonymised aggregated basis, use our sites. A third party provider sets these cookies for us and provides reports on how our sites are used.
These cookies will never collect information in a way that could identify you personally.
3) Functional
If you use social media platforms then their cookies may be set through our websites or mobile apps. They do this, not us - it allows data to be collected by these companies which enables them to serve adverts on other sites that they think are relevant to your interests. If you do not use ‘social media’ tools, then you won’t pick up any of those kinds of cookies.
