What are cookies and what do they do?

Cookies are text files that are placed on websites on the internet. Each cookie includes the name of the website and a unique ID. We use cookies and similar tools on this website. Cookies track things like how long a visitor spends on our website and what visitors do on our website (which pages they visit and which buttons they click on, for example).
Cookies collect this information and share it with us, the website owner. Cookies help us understand who uses our website and how we can improve it. For instance, we can understand which pages of our website are most popular with certain kinds of visitors. This allows us to understand what visitors like about our website and how we can make it more attractive for other visitors.

How do MMT use cookies?
Most of the cookies MMT use on our website are 'persistent' cookies. This means that they remain on your device until you erase them, or they expire. The rest of these cookies are 'session' based which are more temporary in duration. This means they will be erased when you close your internet browser. We have set out the different types of cookies we use below.

Necessary cookies
Necessary cookies are placed on our website by default. We need necessary cookies to help us to run our website, and to help us detect any problems with it. For example, we use a cookie that tells us how busy the server is based on the number of visitors and that tells us if any users experience problems so that we can resolve the problems as soon as possible. In addition, we may also use a cookie that tracks your cookie privacy preferences so that we do not place analytics, preferences and / or advertising cookies, which we'll talk about below, if you don't want us to. This particular type of cookie will remain on your device even after you've stopped browsing the website so we can make sure we comply with our legal and regulatory obligations. We do not need your consent to use necessary cookies.
Preferences cookies
We also use preferences cookies to remember our users while they are browsing our website, its pages, links and subdomains. For example, we will remember your country and preferred language so that you see content which is relevant to you and in your language.

Analytics cookies
These allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors to our website, and see how visitors browse our website, so we can understand how our website content is performing and improve it where necessary.

Advertising cookies
Advertising cookies allow us to build a profile about you so we can provide more relevant ads. For example, we may track your browsing activity across different sites to understand your interests. We may share this information with other organisations, such as Meta and Google, for the same purpose.

You can also manage your preferences by changing your browser settings on your device to refuse the use of all or some cookies. However, if you block all cookies (including necessary cookies), you may not be able to use all or some parts of our website. You may also find that you are shown information on our website that is less interesting to you. Please note, other organisations, such as advertising networks, may also use cookies to track you across different websites. We have no control over these cookies.
We'll let you know if we change what cookies we use
