Marketing and social media cookies Marketing cookies help us provide you with personalised and relevant services or advertising, and track the effectiveness of our digital marketing activities. Social media cookies are set by a range of social media services that we have added to the site to enable you to share our content with your friends and networks.

Likewise, we collect information about which articles and videos and audio files are viewed and listened to, and whether videos and audio files are viewed or listened to in their entirety to determine what content is of most interest to users.
