How we use cookies

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. 

Cook­ies allow web applic­a­tions to respond to you as an indi­vidu­al. The web applic­a­tion can tail­or its oper­a­tions to your needs, likes and dis­likes by gath­er­ing and remem­ber­ing inform­a­tion about your preferences.

We use traffic log cook­ies to identi­fy which pages are being used. This helps us ana­lyse data about web page traffic and improve our web­site in order to tail­or it to cus­tom­er needs. We only use this inform­a­tion for stat­ist­ic­al ana­lys­is pur­poses and then the data is removed from the system.

Over­all, 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 in no way gives us access to your com­puter or any inform­a­tion about you, oth­er than the data you choose to share with us.

You can choose to accept or decline cook­ies. Most web browsers auto­mat­ic­ally accept cook­ies, but you can usu­ally modi­fy your browser set­ting to decline cook­ies if you prefer. This may pre­vent you from tak­ing full advant­age of the website.
