About cookies

In common with almost all websites, we use cookies to facilitate sign-in and other services we offer and to track information about your use of our site.

HTTP Cookies are a standard feature of browsers and the web, and contain information that is transferred to your computer's hard drive.

How we use cookies

We use HTTP cookies to help us to improve our sites and to deliver a better and more personalised service. Some of the cookies we use are essential for the site to operate. We do not use cookies which would enable us or any third party to track your usage on any sites other than ours.

We do not use any Flash cookies or cookie mechanisms other than those described above for provision of our own services.

If you have a username for our site (required for subscribers to some of our services), we use cookies to facilitate your sign-in, and may at your option use a cookie so that you do not need to enter your username and password every time you wish to login to our website.

We also set some cookies to store preferences between your trips to our site.

What do our cookies do, specifically?

We are preparing a list of all the cookies used by our site and will post it to this page. In the meantime, if you have any questions on this, please contact us below.

Video-related and third-party cookies

We occasionally use other third parties to provide video or other services, such as Reuters Insider or Vimeo. Please note that these third parties may also use cookies, over which we have no control. These cookies are likely to be analytical/performance cookies or targeting cookies.

Blocking cookies

You may block cookies by activating settings on your browser which allows you to refuse the setting of all or some cookies. However, if you use your browser settings to block all cookies (including essential cookies) you may not be to access all or parts of our sites. Unless you have adjusted your browser setting so that it will refuse cookies, our system will issue cookies as soon you visit our sites.

Most of the cookies we use are known as session cookies, which allow us to make your browsing experience faster and more seamless - session cookies will expire whenever you close your browser or shut down your computer, and such cookies need not be blocked. Other cookies used for specific purposes will expire when that purpose is no longer required, such as when a survey closes.

You can find out more about how to block cookies in specific browsers at http://aboutcookies.org. Many browsers also have a privacy mode which will allow you to visit the site while making sure no permanent information is stored on your computer.
