What are cookies?

Cookies (and similar technologies) are a common feature used on almost all websites. A cookie is a small text file that is downloaded onto a device to allow a website to recognise it and to store some information about your preferences.

The banner will reappear periodically after you accept cookies.

You can also control your cookies on most popular browsers using browser settings. More information on how to do this is available here: www.aboutcookies.org or www.allaboutcookies.org.
