What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They help a site remember information about your visit — for example, your preferred settings or whether you have seen a particular message before — so that your next visit can be a little smoother.

Cookies do not contain personally identifying information on their own, and they cannot run programs on your device. They are a widely used and well-established part of how websites function.

Cookies We Use

We use a small number of cookie categories on this website. Below is a plain explanation of each.

Essential Cookies

Always active

These cookies are needed for the website to work. They remember your cookie consent choice so we do not ask you again each visit. Without them, parts of the site may not function properly. These cannot be switched off.

Duration: Session or up to 12 months

Analytics Cookies

Optional

These cookies help us understand how visitors use our website — which pages are read most, how long people spend on each section, and where visitors arrive from. We use this information to improve the site. The data is aggregated and not linked to individuals.

Third party: Google Analytics · Duration: Up to 24 months

Preference Cookies

Optional

These cookies remember small details about your visit — for example, your reading mode or display settings — so that the site can present itself a little more comfortably for you on return visits.

Duration: Up to 12 months

Marketing Cookies

Optional

These cookies are used to understand whether information about our programmes reached you through an external channel. We keep this use minimal. If you prefer not to have these set, switching them off has no effect on your ability to use the site.

Duration: Up to 90 days

Your Preferences

Your preferences have been saved.

Third-Party Cookies

Some of the optional cookies listed above are set by third-party services, most notably Google Analytics, which helps us understand website usage in aggregate. These services have their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to review them if you would like further detail. We do not use third-party advertising networks.

Cookie Duration

Cookies are either session cookies — which are deleted when you close your browser — or persistent cookies — which remain on your device until they expire or you delete them. Specific durations are noted for each category above.

Managing Cookies in Your Browser

In addition to the controls above, you can manage or remove cookies directly through your browser settings. Instructions for common browsers are below.

Open Chrome and select the three-dot menu in the top right. Go to Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data. From here you can block all cookies, allow only essential cookies, or clear existing cookies. You can also add exceptions for specific sites.

Open Firefox and select the hamburger menu in the top right. Go to Settings → Privacy & Security. Under Enhanced Tracking Protection, you can choose Standard, Strict, or Custom. To clear cookies, scroll to Cookies and Site Data and select Clear Data.

On a Mac, open Safari and go to Safari → Settings → Privacy. You can block all cookies or prevent cross-site tracking. To remove existing cookies, go to Manage Website Data. On iPhone or iPad, go to Settings → Safari → Privacy & Security.

Open Edge and select the three-dot menu in the top right. Go to Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Cookies and site data. You can block third-party cookies, see which sites have stored data, and clear all cookies from here.

On most mobile browsers, cookie settings are found under the browser's Settings or Privacy section, which is usually accessible from the three-dot or hamburger menu. The steps vary by browser and operating system. Searching for "[your browser name] cookie settings" will usually bring up current guidance for your device.

Your Rights

You have the right to withdraw your consent to optional cookies at any time, using the controls at the top of this page. Withdrawing consent does not affect how we have used cookies in the past.

Switching off optional cookies will not prevent you from using our website, though some minor preference features may not function as intended.
