However any analytical cookies we want to deploy we will only do so after you have accepted them using our cookie notice tool.

That doesn’t mean that other third parties aren’t planting cookies on your machine. If you click a link on this website that takes you to an outside site, that site may employ 3rd party cookies. This site has no control over another site’s cookie usage.

This website uses tracking software to monitor its visitors to better understand how they use it. This software is provided by Google Analytics which uses cookies to track visitor usage.

How do they work?

While social plugins appear on other websites, the information appearing in them comes directly from Facebook, so they’re just an extension of your Facebook experience as outlined here.

For example, if you use the Comments plugin to make a comment, the website may be able to connect your comment to your profile.

You only see a personalized experience with your friends if you’re logged into your Facebook account. If you’re not already logged in, you’ll be prompted to log into Facebook before you can use a plugin on another site.
