What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Some are essential for the site to work. Others help us understand how the site is used or measure advertising, and these are only set if you agree.
Your choices
When you first visit, a banner lets you accept all cookies, reject all non essential cookies, or choose by category. No analytics or marketing cookie, script, pixel or embedded map loads until you have agreed to that category. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time using the Cookie Settings link in the footer of every page.

These are always on because the site cannot work properly without them.
