We use cookies and similar technologies to make our website work, remember your preferences, understand how our website is used and, with your consent, show you more relevant advertising.
Some technologies are necessary for the website to work and do not require your consent. We ask for your consent before using other technologies where required by law.
You can accept, reject or change your choices at any time by clicking Manage Cookies.
What are cookies and similar technologies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer, phone or tablet when you visit a website. We also use similar technologies, such as pixels, tags and local storage, which can store or access information on your device or recognise your device when you visit our website.
These technologies help our website work, remember your preferences, understand how visitors use our website and, where you have given consent, support our advertising activities.
How long do cookies stay on your device?
The exact duration of each cookie or similar technology is shown in our cookie table. We do not keep cookie-derived personal data for longer than necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.
Some cookies ('session cookies') are temporary and are deleted every time you close your browser. Other cookies ('persistent cookies') stay on your device for a set period, which varies depending on the cookie, or until you delete them.
How do we use cookies and similar technologies?
Where cookies and similar technologies involve personal data, our Privacy Policy explains how we process that information and your rights. Details of the cookies this site uses are detailed below.
Our legal basis for using cookies
We use necessary cookies and similar technologies where they are required to provide the services you have requested or to operate our website, where an applicable Privacy and Electric Communication (PECR) exception applies.
For cookies and similar technologies that are not necessary and are not covered by an applicable exemption, we will ask for your consent before storing or accessing information on your device. Where these technologies involve processing personal data and consent is required, we rely on your consent as the lawful basis for processing that data under UK data protection law.
You can refuse or withdraw your consent at any time by clicking Manage Cookies on our website. If you withdraw your consent, we will stop using the relevant cookies and similar technologies from that point, and stop processing personal data collected through them where required by law.
Where the law permits us to use a cookie or similar technology without consent, we will only use it for the permitted purpose. This may include technologies that are strictly necessary to provide a service you have requested or, where applicable, technologies used solely for limited statistical purposes or to remember appearance preferences. Where an exemption applies and you have a right to object, we will provide a clear, simple way for you to do so.
This site uses the following cookie types:
1. Necessary cookies
Necessary cookies help our website work properly and enable essential functions such as page navigation, access to logged-in areas and progressing through a quote or form.
We use these cookies because they are necessary to provide services you have requested or to operate our website. They do not require consent where they fall within the applicable PECR exemption.
You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the website may not work correctly.
2. Functional cookies
Functional cookies enable our website to remember information such as your preferences and help us provide enhanced functionality and personalisation.
We use these cookies only with your consent, where required by law. Where they process personal data, your consent is also our lawful basis for processing that data under UK data protection law.
They may be set by us or by the third-party providers whose services we use. If you do not allow these cookies, some features may not function properly.
3. Performance cookies
Performance cookies help us understand how visitors use our website, such as which pages they visit and how they interact with our content. We use analytics tools, such as Google Analytics, to measure website performance and improve the customer experience.
We use these cookies only with your consent, where required by law. Where they process personal data, your consent is also our lawful basis for processing that data under UK data protection law.
If you do not allow these cookies, we will have less information about how visitors use our website and how it performs.
4. Targeting and advertising cookies
Targeting cookies and similar technologies are used to track how visitors interact with our websites and may be set by us or by third-party advertising providers. They can help measure advertising performance and understand how users interact with our adverts and content.
These technologies may use unique identifiers relating to your browser or device and may process information that constitutes personal data under UK data protection law.
We use targeting cookies to help us deliver advertising that is more relevant to you and to understand the effectiveness of our advertising. We only use these cookies with your consent. If you do not allow them, you may see less targeted advertising.
You can change or withdraw your cookie preferences at any time through our cookie settings.
Who sets cookies and manages the information?
Some cookies and similar technologies are set directly by us, while others are provided by third-party services that we use on our website.
Where a third party provides these technologies, information collected through them may be shared with that provider for purposes such as website analytics, functionality or advertising.
Third-party providers may act as our processor or, where they determine their own purposes and means, as an independent controller. Their own privacy or cookie information may also apply.
How to manage your cookie settings
You can refuse or withdraw your consent at any time by clicking Manage Cookies. If you withdraw your consent, we will stop using the relevant cookies and similar technologies and will stop processing personal data collected through them where required by law.
