Cookies are small text files a website stores on your device. This page explains how the Autonomy website uses them, and how you choose what we may set. Autonomy is a trading name of MTC Media Ltd, which trades as mtc.
Your choice
The first time you visit we ask whether you are happy for us to use analytics cookies. Until you accept, we set none. Choosing "Essential only" leaves the site working exactly as it does otherwise, and nothing on this site is held back behind accepting.
To change your answer later, clear this site's stored data in your browser settings. The banner will then appear again on your next visit.

These are needed for the site to work or to keep it secure, so they are set without asking.

Analytics, only if you accept

Google Ireland Limited processes this data on our instructions. Google sets out what it collects and how long it keeps it in its own privacy and terms. We do not join analytics data up with anything you send us through a form.
What we do not do
We do not use advertising or ad-targeting cookies. We do not sell your data. We do not use analytics to build a profile of you as an individual, and we do not use it to make any decision about you.
