What are Cookies?

Most websites on the Internet, including our own, store small pieces of information – known as cookies – on your computer when you visit them. These help improve your experience of the website by remembering settings and information you have provided, so you don’t have to re-enter information, and by monitoring how you use the website, so that we can improve it in the future. Cookies are never used to personally identify you, and all information is stored anonymously.

How do we use Cookies?

We use a service called Google Analytics to monitor traffic information. This enables us to keep track of how many people view our site, where from geographically, and other information, in order to help us better optimise the site for our users. We do not collect or store your personal information (e.g. your name or address) so this information cannot be used to identify who you are. We do not allow Google to use or share our analytics data. You can opt out of Google Analytics cookies by visiting this page on Google.

We also store a cookie in relation to our pop-up cookie policy message. This recognizes whether or not you have closed/accepted our cookie policy and will therefore not display again (unless, of course, you clean out your cache/temporary internet files).

We do not sell on or use any data retrieved from cookies for advertising purposes or any other purpose than those stated above.

How can I stop Cookies?

You do have the option to ‘turn off’ cookies in your browser. If you wish to do so, more information can be found here.

Many thanks.
