Introduction

We all love cookies, right? But what are the ones on my computer? 

In a nutshell, a cookie is a small text file stored on your computer. Cookies contain information about you and your chosen preferences. For example,  it might include a record of which pages within our site you’ve visited or your display preferences to help the site customise the view for you the next time you visit. Only the information you provide, or the choices you make, while visiting our website can be stored in a cookie. Our website cannot determine your email address – not unless you choose to type it. Allowing a website to create a cookie does not give that or any other site access to the rest of your computer (we promise), and only the site that created the cookie can read it. 

In a nutshell, cookies are used to provide a pleasant browsing experience – just think of it as a cookie trail. 

Your browser also generates other information, including which language the site is displayed in and your Internet Protocol address (“IP address”). Your IP address is automatically logged by our servers and used to collect traffic data, such as the number of visitors to our site. We absolutely do not use your IP address to identify you personally, and the information is never passed on to third parties.

We use the following cookies:

Essential cookies. These are cookies that are required for the operation of our website. They include, for example, cookies that enable you to log into secure areas of our website, and to use online forms.

Analytical cookies. They allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our website when they are using it. This helps us to improve the way our website works, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily.
