What Cookies We Use
We use the following cookies:
Strictly necessary cookies. These are cookies that are required for the operation of our website. These essential cookies are always enabled because our website won’t work properly without them.

You can switch off these cookies in your browser settings but you may then not be able to access all or parts of our website.
Analytical or performance cookies. These allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our website when they are using it. This helps us to improve the way our website works, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily.
Functionality cookies. These are used to recognise you when you return to our website. This enables us to personalise our content for you, greet you by name and remember your preferences (for example, your choice of language or region).

Where this feature loads content directly from Loqate, Loqate may set cookies on your device to support the operation and performance of the address lookup feature.
