The length of time a cookie remains on your computer or mobile device depends on whether it is a “persistent” or a “session” cookie. Session cookies last until you stop browsing, and persistent cookies last until they expire or are deleted. Most of the cookies we use are persistent and expire after 14 days from the date they are downloaded to your device.
You can control and manage cookies in various ways. Please note that removing or blocking cookies may negatively impact your user experience and parts of our website may no longer be fully accessible.
Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can decide whether or not to accept cookies using your browser controls. You can often find these in the “Tools” or “Settings” menu of your browser. For more information about changing your browser settings or blocking, managing or filtering cookies, see your browser's help file or websites such as: www.allaboutcookies.org.
Please note that we do not change our data collection and use practices when we detect such a signal from your browser, as there is no consistent industry understanding of how to respond to Do Not Track signals.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, for example to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal or regulatory reasons.
As noted above, if you would like to make a complaint, please contact us by email or post using the contact details provided under “Contact Us” above.
If you are not satisfied with our response to your complaint, you have the right to submit your complaint to the relevant data protection authority. You can contact your local data protection authority or our supervisory authority here: https://ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint/
