Third party cookies
Some of the information and news that you see on our website is generated by third parties.
Some of these third parties generate their own cookies (or web beacons) to anonymously track how many people have seen a particular item (or use the services of third parties to do this), and to track how many people have seen it more than once. These cookies cannot be used to identify an individual; they can only be used for statistical purposes.
The third party companies that generate these cookies have their own, very strict, privacy policies but we don't have access to these cookies; other than allowing them to be served, we have no role to play in these cookies at all.
If you would like to disable ‘third party’ cookies, you can turn them off by going to the third party’s website and getting them to generate a one-time ‘no thanks’ cookie that will stop any further cookies being written to your machine. Here are links to two of the main third party advertising platforms, each of which instructions have on how to do this:
