What cookies and similar technologies are
Cookies are small files or browser storage values used to remember information about a visit. Similar technologies can include local storage, session storage, pixels, tags and software development tools used for website functionality or measurement.
Necessary technology
Necessary technology supports essential functions such as remembering privacy preferences, basic security and website operation. These functions may operate without optional consent where permitted by law because the site may not work properly without them.
Analytics
Analytics technology helps us understand which pages and journeys are used so we can improve the website. On this replacement site, analytics events are designed not to initialise until analytics consent has been given.
If analytics consent is refused or withdrawn, optional analytics identifiers and event tracking should remain disabled.
Marketing
Marketing technology may in future be used to measure campaigns, understand referral sources or support relevant advertising. It should not be enabled before the required consent has been obtained.
Current preference categories
The site currently presents three categories: Necessary, Analytics and Marketing. Necessary remains available. Analytics and Marketing can be accepted or rejected independently through the privacy controls.
Changing your choices
You can reopen the website's Privacy choices control and change optional preferences. Browser settings may also allow you to delete or block cookies and storage, although doing so can affect website functionality.
Third-party technology
Where we later enable third-party analytics, advertising, communications or embedded services, their technologies and retention periods should be documented here before production use. This policy should not imply that a third-party service is active until it actually is.
Updates
We will update this policy if the technology used by the website changes materially. The current version and update date will appear on this page.
