In addition, we may use a limited number of critical cookies that are essential for the delivery of our Services (that do not collect any personal data and are not identifiable to you).

What are cookies?
Cookies are text files containing small amounts of information which are downloaded to your browsing device, e.g. a computer or smartphone, when you visit a website. Cookies can be recognised by the website that downloaded them, or by other websites that use the same cookies. This helps a website know if the browsing device has visited that or other websites before.
Cookies can be used to collect information relating to your use of a website or your device, let you navigate between pages effectively, help to remember your preferences and generally improve your browsing experience.
Cookies can be session or persistent cookies. Session cookies are temporary and only stay on your browser until you stop browsing. Persistent cookies stay on your device until they expire or are deleted.

We use cookies for the following purposes:
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are essential for the full functionality of our Site and related services, including BoardOutlook.

Functionality cookies
These cookies allow a website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, more personal features. e.g. these cookies allow the website to remember the settings you have applied (such as font size, preferences or colours), identify whether you are a returning website visitor and present you with a personalised version of the website, or eliminate the need for you to re-enter your login details. The information these cookies collect is generally anonymous and they do not track your browsing activity on other websites. These cookies may be first or third party, session or persistent cookies.
Performance cookies
These cookies collect information about how you use a website, e.g. which pages are the most visited and if you receive any error message from any page.
