How we use cookies on our website
We use cookies across our website to improve performance and enhance user experience. This policy explains how we do that.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files which a website may put on your computer or mobile device when you first visit a site or page. The cookie will help the website, or another website, to recognise your device the next time you visit.
There are many functions that cookies serve; e.g. they help websites to remember your username and preferences, analyse how well the website is performing, or allow the website to recommend content they believe will be most relevant to you.
Certain cookies contain personal information – for example, if you click to “remember me” when logging into a website, a cookie will store your username. Most cookies won’t collect information that identifies you, and will instead collect more general information such as how users arrive at and use the website, or a user’s general location.
What sort of cookies do we use?
We use cookies for different functions:
1. Essential cookies
Some cookies are essential for the operation of our website. For example, some cookies allow us to identify registered users and ensure they can access the secure pages. If a registered user opts to disable these cookies, the user will not be able to access these pages.
2. Performance Cookies
We don’t currently use performance cookies, but when we do, we will use other cookies to analyse how our visitors use our websites and to monitor website performance; e.g. we use performance cookies to keep track of which pages are most popular, which method of linking between pages is most effective, and to determine why some pages are receiving error messages.
Does anyone else use cookies on our website?
No.
Can a website user block cookies?
Yes, but as we’ve explained above, cookies help you to get the most from our website.
If you do wish to disable our cookies, please see under More Information below.
Please remember that if you do choose to disable cookies, you may find that certain sections of our website do not work properly
