Cookie Policy
Our websites use cookies. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer (or internet-enabled device) by websites you visit. They are widely used in order to make websites work and to improve their efficiency, as well as to provide website usage information to the website owner.
We use cookies to distinguish you from other users of our websites in order to help us to improve your experience when you browse our websites. For example, they allow you to navigate between pages efficiently.
What cookies do we use?
Our websites use three kinds of cookies: strictly necessary cookies, performance cookies and functionality cookies.
Strictly necessary cookies
These are essential to enable you to move around our websites and to allow the features of the sites to work correctly. Without these, services you request – such as navigating between pages – cannot be provided.
We use the following strictly necessary cookies on all our websites, unless specified otherwise:

ASP.NET_SessionId |

__RequestVerificationToken |
This is an anti-forgery cookie set by web applications built using ASP.NET MVC technologies. It is designed to stop unauthorised posting of content to a website, known as Cross-Site Request Forgery. This cookie holds no information about the user and is destroyed on closing the browser. |
Performance cookies/technologies
These enable us to collect information about how you use our websites or read our publications, for instance which pages are viewed by visitors most frequently. All information collected in this way is used to improve how our websites work.

Functionality cookies
These cookies record information about choices you have made and allow us to remember your preferences. If you are known to us and we hold your details, we may use this information to help us build up your profile based on your web journey, and choices.
