To make our website (including our mobile app) work better and to distinguish you from other users, we use cookies and similar technologies, such as tagging. Cookies and similar technologies can perform functions and personalise content.
A cookie is a small text file which sits on your device or browser and assists with information flow and functionality. Cookies support the website, for instance, some cookies help with site security, others help us improve the site. Some cookies can personalise content. Each cookie performs a specific action.
For instance, cookies can send general information about how the site is used, which can be used for maintenance and improvement. These cookies don’t capture your personal data and we wouldn’t be able to identify people from the information. They simply log numbers and provide grouped information about site navigation – this tells us if people can find what they want.
Other cookies remember information from one page to another, so you don’t have to keep entering it. These are called “session” cookies. For example, PHPSESSID is a session cookie which remembers your data from one page.
Cookies which remember things for longer, from one visit to the next, are called “persistent” cookies. Persistent cookies can do things like remember preferences and adjust content to suit you.
Cookies can be set by different parties. If the cookie comes from our site, it is a first party cookie.
If it comes from another site, such as our suppliers or business partners, it is a third-party cookie, specifically chosen by us to provide a service, such as a more personalised visit.
You may reject cookies; however, the site functions will be affected. Cookies help the site to work properly and personalise your experience. You’ll be able to browse the site without cookies, but preferences, certain features and some standard functionality will not work. By accepting cookies, you allow us to improve your experience and remember information about you, which can personalise your experience.
We sometimes embed photos, video and other content from websites such as Twitter and YouTube.

In addition, our websites carry embedded ‘share’ buttons to enable users of the site to easily share articles with their friends through a number of popular social networks. These sites may set a cookie when you are also logged in to their service. Proactive does not control the dissemination of these cookies. You should check the relevant third-party website for more information about these.
