Personalisation

These cookies allow the website to remember choices visitors make (such as their user name, language or the region) and provide enhanced, more personal features. For instance, a website may be able to provide visitors with local weather reports or traffic news by storing their regional location in a cookie. These cookies can also be used to remember changes visitors have made to text size, fonts and other parts of web pages that visitors can customise. They may also be used to provide services visitors have asked for such as watching a video or commenting on a blog. The information these cookies collect may be anonymised and they cannot track browsing activity on other websites.
