How we use cookies
A cookie is a small file which our website places on your computer if you allow it. If you revisit our site, we can read the file back (but nobody else has access to it, other than you). Cookies allow web applications to respond to you as an individual. The web application can tailor its operations to your needs, likes and dislikes by gathering and remembering information about your preferences.
There are two kinds of cookies: “session” cookies and “persistent” cookies. Session cookies are stored in your computer’s memory and only exist while your browser is open. They are deleted from your computer when you close your browser. Persistent cookies outlast user sessions and remain stored on your computer until they reach their expiry date or you delete them.
Cookies do not contain any information that personally identifies you unless you have entered that information into a form on our website. A cookie does not give us access to your computer or any information about you, other than that which you deliberately provide.
You can choose to accept or decline cookies.
How do I change my cookie settings?
You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clicking here. You can then adjust the available sliders to ‘On’ or ‘Off’, then clicking ‘Save and close’. You may need to refresh your page for your settings to take effect.

Cookies on this Website
When you accept “Cookies that measure website use” and/or “Cookies that help with our communications and marketing”, we then use those cookies to provide links to social network sharing services and provide website usage data.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to generate statistical and other information about website usage by means of cookies, which are stored on users’ computers. If you accept “Cookies that measure website use”, we will collect information in an anonymous form, including the number of visitors to our website, the URL from which visitors have come to our website and the pages they have visited. The exact information which Google Analytics stores in cookies is described here. This approach enables us to analyse data about webpage traffic and improve our website in order to tailor it to customer needs.
From 25th May 2018, as controller of our Google Analytics account, we have the option to limit the period for which that individual user and event data is retained. We have selected the default retention period of 26 months, commencing from the most recent user session on our site. This retention period does not apply to aggregate data.
Google will store and use this information according to their privacy policy and the Google Data Processing Amendment (effective 25th May 2018) that provides for GDPR compliance for the service they provide to us.
