Consent and strictly necessary use
The site currently uses no advertising, social-media tracking or third-party analytics cookies. MBSESSID is a first-party cookie used for security and functions you request, so it is treated as strictly necessary under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR). Consent is not required for a strictly necessary cookie, but clear information about it is still provided here.
If non-essential cookies are introduced in future, they will not be set until any consent required by PECR and the UK GDPR has been obtained.
UK GDPR and personal information
Where cookie or session information can be linked to an identifiable person, it is personal data and is handled in accordance with the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018. The lawful basis, retention approach and your data rights are explained in the Privacy Policy.
Managing cookies
You can configure your browser to block or delete cookies. Blocking MBSESSID may prevent the contact form, security controls or catalogue session features from working correctly. Browser providers publish instructions for managing cookies in their privacy or help settings.
