1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Local storage is a related browser technology that lets a site save data in your browser. Both let a site remember information about you and your session.
2. How we use them
We use these technologies to keep you signed in, secure the service, remember your preferences, and understand how the service is used.
3. Categories we use
- Strictly necessary: required for the service to function, including sign-in sessions, authentication, and security such as protecting against cross-site request forgery. These cannot be switched off in our system.
- Functional: remember your choices and improve your experience, such as your display preference and recently viewed items saved in your browser's local storage.
- Analytics: help us understand aggregate usage so we can improve the service. Where required, we request your consent before setting these.
We do not use cookies for third-party advertising.
