1. What cookies are.
Cookies are small text files stored by your browser that let a site recognise your device. This site uses both its own and third party cookies.
Under UK and Irish law we need your consent before setting anything that is not strictly necessary, so nothing in the preferences, statistics or marketing categories is set until you allow it.
2. The four categories.
| Category | What it does | How long it lasts |
|---|---|---|
| Necessary | Page navigation, security and access to protected areas. The site does not work without these, so they cannot be switched off. | Session, or as short as the function allows |
| Preferences | Remembers choices such as your market so you do not set them again. | 6 months |
| Statistics | Tells us how the site is used, reported in aggregate rather than about you by name. | Up to 2 years |
| Marketing | Lets advertising partners show you MANTIS advertising on other sites. | 13 months |
Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies stay for the period above.
3. Third party cookies.
Analytics and advertising providers set their own cookies and may combine what they see here with what they see elsewhere. We use Google Analytics, which you can opt out of across every site using Google's browser add-on.
4. Changing your mind.
Use the cookie settings above. Withdrawing consent has to be as easy as giving it, so the control stays available on every page rather than only appearing once on your first visit.
You can also delete and block cookies through your browser settings. If you do, some parts of the site will not remember your choices and some pages may not display properly.
