Cookies & how you use this website
To make this website easier to use, we sometimes place small text files on your device (for example your iPad or laptop). These are known as ‘cookies’. Most big websites do this too.
They improve things by:

- remembering data you’ve given (for example, your address) so you don’t need to keep entering it
- measuring how you use the website so we can make sure it meets your needs.
Cookies should make your online experience easier and more personalised. Our website uses cookies to keep track of your access to the site. By using our website, you agree that we can place these types of cookies on your device
