What Are Cookies?
Cookies are tiny text files that are stored on your computer, tablet or mobile phone. They are not harmful to your computer or your security and, despite common misconceptions, are nothing to do with viruses or malware. When you visit a website, cookies allow it to "remember" you and how you've used the site each time you return, which means you receive a much better online experience.
If you want to know more about cookies, there is extensive information readily available online — a good starting point is www.aboutcookies.org.
Controlling Your Cookie Permissions
If you don't want to receive cookies, you can modify your browser so that it notifies you when cookies are sent to you, or you can refuse cookies altogether. You can also delete cookies that have already been set.
Please note that if you disable or refuse cookies, some parts of our website may become inaccessible or not function properly, as certain features depend on cookies to operate correctly.
How We Use Cookies
We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. ("Google"), which uses cookies to help us analyse how visitors use the website — allowing us to continually improve your experience.
The information generated by these cookies about your use of the website (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity for us, and provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage.
Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf. Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google.
Google Analytics & User ID
A "User ID" is used on this website. The User ID functions as your alias in Google Analytics. Google connects your online behaviour and the User ID to a profile, enabling anonymised tracking of your activities across multiple devices — tablet, PC, smartphone and so on.
You can opt out of tracking via User ID at any time by contacting us via our Contact Us page.
Opting Out
You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser. However, please note that doing so may mean you are unable to use the full functionality of this website.
By using this website, you consent to the processing of data about you by Google in the manner and for the purposes set out above.
