Cookie Policy

Here we will explain what cookies apply when you visit the site and how to reject or delete those cookies.

By continuing to use the site you are agreeing to our use of cookies in the way described in this policy.

A cookie is a small data file that is placed on your device to allow a site to recognise you as a user when you return using the same device and web browser, either for the duration of your visit (using a ‘session cookie’) or for repeat visits (a ‘persistent cookie’).  Other similar files work in the same way and we use the word ‘cookie’ in this policy to refer to all files that collect information in this way.

Cookies are an extremely common technology for remembering certain information about a visitor to a site.  The vast majority of sites currently make use of cookies and they are commonly used for a wide range of tasks.  We use cookies for the following purposes:

  • for operation of the site
  • to analyse use of the site by, for example, recognising and counting the number of visitors and how they move around the site.  This helps us to see what parts of the site are popular and which sections need improving to make the experience better for users
  • to recognise you when you return to the site
  • to record your visit to the site and the pages you have visited and the links you have followed.  We will use this to make the site more relevant to your interests.

When you accessed the site, you were presented with a message that notified you of our use of cookies.  We had to use a cookie to present you with that notice.  If you use the site, more cookies and other tracking technologies will be placed on your device as described in this Cookie Policy in order to enhance your user experience. 

We will not use cookies to collect personally identifiable information about you, but if you wish to restrict or block the cookies which are set by the site (or, indeed, on any other site) you can do this through your browser settings.  The ‘Help’ function within your browser should tell you how.

Alternatively, you may wish to visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org/ which contains detailed information on how to do this on a wide variety of browsers.  You will also find details on how to delete cookies from your computer, as well as more general information about cookies.  Please note that, as these sites are not owned or operated by us, we are not responsible for any of the content on them.
