What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website puts on your computer or mobile device when you visit. They let the website remember things about your visit, such as what choices you have made.
Your choice
When you first visit our website, we ask whether you accept analytics cookies. We only set analytics cookies if you accept them. Essential cookies are always set, because the website cannot work properly without them.
You can change your mind at any time: change your cookie settings, or use the "Cookie Settings" link at the bottom of every page. If you withdraw your consent, we delete our analytics cookies from your device.
Essential cookies
These cookies are needed for the website to work and to keep it secure. We do not need your consent to use them, and you cannot turn them off using our cookie settings.
Security cookies set by Google reCAPTCHA
We use Google reCAPTCHA to protect our enquiry and application forms from spam and automated abuse. reCAPTCHA may set a cookie called _GRECAPTCHA (expires after 6 months) and collects information about your device and how you use the page, which it sends to Google to decide whether you are a real person. This is needed to keep our forms secure. Google's use of this information is covered by the Google Privacy Policy.
Analytics cookies (only with your consent)
With your consent, we use Google Analytics to understand how people use our website, for example which pages are most visited and how people find us. This helps us improve the website. Google Analytics collects information such as the pages you visit, how long you spend on them, the type of device and browser you use, and your approximate location. We do not allow Google to use this information for advertising.
Google processes this information on our behalf and may store it on servers outside the UK. You can read how Google uses information from sites that use its services. You can also install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on to stop Google Analytics on every website you visit.
Does anyone else set cookies on our website?
Only Google, through the reCAPTCHA and Google Analytics services described above. We do not use advertising, social media or marketing cookies.
How to manage cookies in your browser
As well as using our cookie settings, you can block or delete cookies in your web browser. If you block essential cookies, some parts of our website, such as our forms, may not work.
For other browsers, use the browser's Help menu.
