What we set in your browser.

A cookie is a small text file placed on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies include local storage, pixels and tags. They let a site remember your session, understand how pages are used and, where you consent, measure advertising.

• Essential: session management, security and consent preference. These cannot be switched off because the site will not function without them.
• Functional: remembering language, region and interface preferences so you do not have to set them again.
• Analytics: aggregate measurement of pages viewed and journeys taken, used to improve content. Set only with consent.
• Marketing: measurement of campaign performance across platforms. Set only with consent.

You can change or withdraw consent at any time through the cookie banner, and you can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking essential cookies will break parts of the site. Detailed categories, examples and retention periods are set out in the Trust Centre privacy page.

Consent requirements differ by market and we apply the strictest standard to every visitor rather than varying the banner by location.

• United Kingdom: PECR and the UK GDPR require consent before any non-essential cookie is set.
• Ireland and the EU: the ePrivacy Regulations and GDPR apply the same prior consent standard.
• South Africa: POPIA and the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act govern tracking and direct marketing.
• United States: state privacy law focuses on notice and on opt out of sale or sharing. We do not sell or share personal information.
• Hong Kong: the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance requires clear notice of purpose and consent for direct marketing use.
