Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, laptop and/or mobile devices, that contain details of your browsing history on the website and distinguish you from other users. They are widely used and help to provide you with relevant and personalised online and mobile content and advertising, and help make websites work more efficiently. Your browser sends cookies back to the website every time you visit, so it can recognise you and can tailor what you see on the screen.

Information supplied by cookies help us understand our online visitors, and help provide you with a better experience. For example, if on a previous visit you went to our exhibition catalogue page, we might find this out from your cookies, and in the future be able to highlight new exhibition catalogues that you may be interested in learning more about. Types of cookies we use include:

Essential / strictly necessary cookies
Some cookies are essential so you can move around the website(s) and use its features. Without these cookies, services you've asked for can't be provided. These cookies don't gather information about you that could be used for marketing or remember where you've been on the internet. If you don’t want us to use cookies, some parts of the site will not work, for example webpages to keep you logged in during your visit, and when you add something to your online shopping basket.

Functionality cookies
Functionality cookies remember choices you make to improve your online experience, such as recently viewed pages, and enabling social media components, like Facebook and Twitter.

Performance cookies (for analytics)
These cookies collect anonymous information on the pages visited. They keep track of what pages and links are popular and are performing well so we can make improvements and measure the effectiveness of our marketing communications.
