Cookies Policy

Cookies are small files that a website places on your hard disk to enable additional features of the website to work. Use of cookies is an industry standard and many websites use them and most internet browsers automatically accept cookies.

​

The law relating to the use of cookies changed in May 2011. Website operators are now required to provide clear information in relation to the cookies operating on their site and to also obtain the user’s consent before setting a cookie on their computer or handheld device.

​

Further information is set out below in relation to the cookies which operate on this website and we are currently reviewing our systems and procedures to establish the best way of obtaining consent to the setting of a cookie on a user’s computer or handheld device.

​

Our cookies do not contain any personally identifying information but they do enable us to provide a more user-friendly experience. We do not use cookies to gather personal information such as a person's name or email address. However, in order to track usage on our website, we may use cookies to identify repeat visitors to the website and to determine the path visitors take on our site. Any information gathered by the use of cookies is compiled on an aggregate and anonymous basis.

 

Turning Cookies Off
You can usually switch cookies off by adjusting your browser settings to stop it from accepting cookies, (learn how here). However, doing so will likely limit the functionality of this and a large proportion of the world's websites as cookies are a standard part of most modern sites.

​

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.
