What are cookies?

Cookies are small data files used to track certain information on the pages you visit. They do not access your hard drive or other cookies to obtain personal information, and 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.

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.

What about Google Analytics?

Our website uses Google Analytics, a service which transmits website traffic data to Google servers in the United States. This service does not identify individual users or associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. We use reports provided by Google Analytics to help us understand website traffic and webpage usage.

By using this website, you consent to the processing of data about you by Google in the manner described in Google's Privacy Policy for the purposes set out above.
