This website uses cookies. A cookie is a file containing an identifier (a string of letters and numbers) that is sent by a web server to a web browser and is stored by the browser. The identifier is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server. You can read more about cookies at http://aboutcookies.org. The cookies we use allow us to monitor the use of the website and to improve our service offering.
Cookies may be either “persistent” cookies or “session” cookies: a persistent cookie will be stored by a web browser and will remain valid until its set expiry date, unless deleted by the user before the expiry date; a session cookie, on the other hand, will expire at the end of the user session, when the web browser is closed.
Cookies do not typically contain any information that personally identifies a user, but personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies.
Most browsers allow you to refuse to accept cookies and to delete cookies. The methods for doing so vary from browser to browser, and from version to version. You can obtain up-to-date information about blocking and deleting cookies at http://aboutcookies.org.
Some of the more significant individual cookies we use and the purposes for which we use them are:
- Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics to analyse the use of the website. Google Analytics gathers information about the website use by means of cookies. The information gathered relating to the website is used to create reports about the use of the website. Google’s privacy policy is available at: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.
Please note that third parties (including, for example, advertising networks and providers of external services like web traffic analysis services) may also use cookies, over which we have no control. These cookies are likely to be analytical/performance cookies or targeting cookies. For example, if we display a social media network timeline(e.g. Twitter) on the website the social media network will use their own cookies.
