Cookies Notice

What are Cookies?

A cookie is simply a technology for remembering something about you. A cookie is a small file saved on your hard drive.

Without cookies, a website loses its memory of you every time you visit a new page. Once you visit a new page, it doesn’t remember who you are.

Without any cookie memory, a website can’t be helpful and make your visit more personal. It can’t let you log in, because it forgets who you are. It can’t let you buy anything, because it forgets what you’re buying. But it also means it can’t track you. Some websites use cookies to target ads at you and some share their cookies, so that ads on one website know what you liked on another – we do not use cookies in this way.

Controlling and blocking cookies 

You can set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie. This enables you to decide if you want to accept it or not. For more information, including how to control and disable cookies, please visit www.cookiesandyou.com or www.allaboutcookies.org.

We do not store unencrypted personally identifiable information in the cookies.

How we use Cookies

Analytics: We use Google Analytics to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our site. This helps us to improve the way our website works, for example by making sure users are finding what they need easily. For more information see how Google Analytics uses cookies.

YouTube: If we embed YouTube video on our site and you watch that video then YouTube by default sets a tracking cookie for their marketing purposes. For more information see how to manage YouTube cookies.
