They let a site remember your choices, keep you signed in, and measure how the site is used. Some are set by us, others by services we rely on. ## How we group them - Necessary — required for the site to work. These cannot be switched off. - Preferences — remember your choices and settings. - Statistics — help us understand how the site is used. - Marketing — used to personalise ads and measure campaigns. ## Changing your mind You can change or withdraw your consent at any time via [Cookie settings](#cookie-settings), or the same link in the footer. Your choice is stored for 12 months, after which we ask again. ## Third parties Some cookies are set by third parties. Where that happens, the provider is named in the table below, and their own privacy terms apply in addition to ours.
