WHAT ARE COOKIES?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you browse the internet. Our website uses cookies (as almost all websites do), to help provide you with the best possible experience.

• Make our website work as you’d expect
• Remember your settings during and between visits
• Improve the speed/security of the site
• Continuously improve our website for you
• Make our marketing more efficient
WE DO NOT USE COOKIES TO:
• Collect any personally identifiable information (without your express permission)
• Collect any sensitive information (without your express permission)
• Pass data to advertising networks
• Pass personally identifiable data to third parties
• Pay sales commissions
GRANTING US PERMISSION TO USE COOKIES
By adjusting your web browser (the software that you are using to view this website) to accept cookies, we take this (along with your continued use of our website) as confirmation that you are happy for us to use cookies in the way that we do. Should you wish to remove or not use cookies from our site, you can learn how to do this below. In doing so however, it is likely that our website will not work as you would expect.
VISITOR STATISTICS COOKIES
We use cookies to compile visitor statistics, such as how many people have visited our website, what type of technology they are using, how long they spend on the site, and what pages they look at. This helps us to continuously improve our website. These so called ‘analytics programs’ also tell us how people reached this site (e.g. from a search engine) and whether they have been here before, helping us to put more money into developing our services for you, instead of marketing spend.
TURNING COOKIES OFF
You can usually switch cookies off by adjusting your browser’s settings to stop it from accepting cookies. Doing so however will likely limit the functionality of our website (along with a large proportion of the rest of the internet), as cookies are a standard part of most modern websites.
It may be that your concerns around cookies relate to so called “spyware”. Rather than switching off cookies in your browser, you may find that anti-spyware software achieves the same objective, by automatically deleting cookies considered to be invasive.
