Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, smartphone) when you
visit a website. They are widely used to:

  • Make websites work properly
  • Improve user experience (e.g. remembering your login)
  • Provide information to website owners about usage and performance


We may also use similar technologies (such as tracking pixels or tags) that work in a similar
way.
Some cookies can collect information that may be considered personal data, which means
they fall under the UK GDPR.
