1. What is a cookie?

A cookie is a very small text file that a website saves on your computer, tablet or phone when you visit it. Cookies are widely used to make websites work, to remember your preferences, and to give the people who run the site information about how it is being used.

3. How to decline cookies

The cookie banner that appears on your first visit lets you decline analytics cookies. You can also block cookies entirely in your browser settings; this will not affect your ability to read the site, but the cookie banner will reappear on each visit if your browser does not retain its own ‘don’t show this again’ preference.
