To make this site work properly, we sometimes place small data files called cookies on your device. Most big websites do this too.

What are cookies?

A cookie is a small text file that a website saves on your computer or mobile device when you visit the site. It enables the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login, language, font size and other display preferences) over a period of time, so you don’t have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another.

How do we use cookies?

A number of our pages use cookies to remember:

  • your display preferences, such as contrast colour settings or font size
  • if you have agreed (or not) to our use of cookies on this site
  • if you submit a form on or through the Site, so the Site can remember that a form has recently been submitted

The cookies placed by us on our Site are “session” cookies and expire when your browsing session ends.

Enabling these cookies is not strictly necessary for the website to work but it will provide you with a better browsing experience. You can delete or block these cookies, but if you do that some features of this Site may not work as intended.

The cookie-related information is not used to identify you personally and the pattern data is fully under our control. These cookies are not used for any purpose other than those described here.

This site also uses Google Analytics, a third-party cookie which measures the effectiveness and efficiency of the Site. To learn about Google privacy and cookies, please see the Google Privacy Policy at https://policies.google.com/ privacy/
