Like many organisations, we use technology on our websites to collect information that helps us enhance your experience and our services. Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer by websites that you visit. The cookies we use allow our websites to work, or work more efficiently, as well as help us understand what information is most useful to our visitors.

Types of Cookies used

We use the following cookies on our websites. A detailed list of each cookie is listed at the end of this notice.

Necessary Cookies
Necessary cookies enable core functionality. The website cannot function properly without these cookies, and can only be disabled by changing your browser preferences.

Analytical Cookies
Analytical cookies help us to improve our website by collecting and reporting information on its usage.

Third-Party Cookies
These cookies are set by a website other than our website which you are visiting, usually as a result of some embedded content such as a video, a social media share or a like button or a contact map. You should be aware that these cookies are not controlled by us, they are controlled by the third party themselves and so should be managed from within their pages:

  • Vimeo cookies: We can effectively block Vimeo embedded player from setting any cookies (1st party and 3rd party) by sandboxing the hosting iframe element and enforcing the "Do Not Track"-flag in the URL source parameters. With the DNT parameter set to "1" the embedded player should be blocked from tracking any session data, including cookies and analytics. By consenting to 3rd party cookies though, Vimeo may enforce two 3rd party cookies to be set for anonymized tracking of user data and behaviour related to the embedded player. Once these 3rd party cookies have been set we have no means to control them, instead you must visit the website of www.vimeo.com to manage your cookie preferences an/or manually removing cookies from your browser. For further info refer to Vimeo's Cookie Policy: https://vimeo.com/cookie_policy
  • Soundcloud cookies: We can not completely prevent all cookies by Soundcloud from being set, since the embedded player relies on storing variables in Local Storage for functionality (3rd party). Upon cookies consent to 3rd party cookies, Soundcloud enforces at least two 3rd party cookies to be set for anonymized tracking of user data and behaviour related to the embedded player. Once these 3rd party cookies have been set, we have no means to control them, instead you must visit the website of www.soundcloud.com to manage your cookie preferences and/or manually delete the cookies from your browser. For further info refer to Soundcloud's Cookie Policy: https://soundcloud.com/pages/cookies
