What are cookies?
Cookies are small pieces of text or code sent to your browser by a website you visit.
Similar technologies, including unique identifiers used to identify an app or device, pixel tags, and local storage, can perform the same function.
Information collected through cookies and similar technologies may include the date and time that you visit a website and how you use a particular website or mobile application.
In the United Kingdom, the rules on cookies are covered by the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR). PECR also covers the use of similar technologies for storing or accessing information, such as ‘Flash cookies’ and device fingerprinting.

Please note that if you block all or some of the cookies, it is possible that you will not be able to enjoy all the technical features our website has to offer and it may negatively affect your user experience.
Managing similar technologies in your apps and devices
Most mobile devices and applications allow you to manage how similar technologies, such as unique identifiers used to identify an app or device, are set and used. For example, the Advertising ID on Android devices or Apple’s Advertising Identifier can be managed in your device’s settings, while app-specific identifiers may typically be managed in the app’s settings.
