Cookie Policy

What cookies are

A cookie is a small file that a website asks to place on your computer, phone or tablet. Cookies are widely used to make websites work, to remember your choices, and to give site owners information about how their site is being used.

A cookie cannot give us access to your device, or to any information about you other than the data you choose to share with us.

How we use cookies

We use cookies only where they are needed. We group them as follows:

• Necessary cookies make the website work. They do things like remember what you have entered in a form and keep the site secure. The website cannot work properly without them, so they cannot be switched off.
• Preference cookies remember choices you have made, such as accessibility settings, so you do not have to set them again on every visit.
• Analytics cookies help us understand how people use the website, which pages are useful and which are not. They never identify you personally.

The cookies this website uses

At present this website uses only the cookies that are necessary for it to work. We do not use analytics or advertising cookies.

If we add any optional cookies in future we will update this page and ask for your agreement before setting them.

Cookies set by other organisations

Some parts of this website link to or embed services run by other organisations, including our online referral forms and the Survivor Pathway. Those services may set their own cookies, which we do not control. Their own cookie and privacy policies apply once you use them.

Managing cookies

You can accept or decline cookies. Most browsers accept them automatically, but you can change your browser settings to decline them, and to delete cookies that have already been set. Declining cookies may stop parts of this website working as expected.

Your browser’s help pages explain how to do this. Guidance for all the main browsers is also available at aboutcookies.org.

Your privacy

How we handle the personal information you give us is set out separately in our privacy notice.

Changes to this policy

We may change this policy from time to time by updating this page. Please check back occasionally to make sure you are happy with any changes.
