Cookies

Our website uses cookies. Cookies help us provide you with a better website, by enabling us to monitor which pages you find useful and which you do not.

A cookie is a small file which asks permission to be placed on your computer’s hard drive. Once you agree, the file is added and the cookie helps analyse web traffic or lets you know when you visit a particular site.

There are two main kinds of cookies: “session” cookies and “persistent” cookies. Session cookies only last while you are online and are deleted when you close your internet browser. Persistent cookies outlast user sessions and remain stored on your computer until you delete them or until they reach their expiry date.

We use Google Analytics to analyse the use of our website. It uses cookies to generate statistical and other information to create reports about the use of our website. Google then stores this information.

Cookies do not contain any information that personally identifies you and a cookie in no way gives us access to your computer or any information about you.

Most browsers allow you to manage cookies and disable them if you want.
