Do not track

Do not track (DNT) is a feature offered by some browsers, with some newer browsers offering it as default. If you enable it, it sends a signal to websites to request that your browsing isn't tracked, for example by third party ad or social networks, or analytic companies.

You can opt out of tracking and analytics on this website by changing your settings - see the Managing Cookies section.

At the moment there is no industry-wide standard that has been agreed and adopted to determine how DNT requests should be managed, so our website doesn’t currently respond to DNT requests. Until that standard is established, we'll continue to review DNT and other new technologies, but won't respond to DNT requests.

We're giving you this information to both comply with legislation, and make sure we're honest and transparent about your privacy when using our website.
