This website may use cookies to distinguish you from other users of this website. This helps us to provide you with a good experience when you browse this website and also allows us to improve this website. 

Some cookies work by collecting and storing some form of personal data about you, so this policy also describes the personal data we process or allow others to access when using cookies.

  1. What are cookies?

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

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

  1. Strictly necessary cookies. These are cookies that are required for the operation of this website. They include, for example, cookies that enable you to log into secure areas of this website.
  2. Analytical / performance cookies. They allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around this website when they are using it. This helps us to improve the way this website works, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily.
  3. Functionality cookies. These are used to recognise you when you return to this website and to embed functionality from third party services. This enables us to personalise our content for you, remember your preferences and to integrate useful services provided by third party providers into this website.
  1. Your consent to use cookies

When you accessed this website, 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. 

We will only store or read cookies on your device for non-essential cookies and process associated personal data (or allow our third party services providers and partners to do so) if you have given, and not withdrawn, your consent.  In accordance with data protection laws, we do not request your consent to use essential cookies as they are necessary to ensure this website works properly.

We request this using the cookie tool that appears when you visit any page of this website. If you consented to our use of functional and performance cookies, those cookies will be placed on your device as described in this Cookie Policy in order to enhance your user experience whilst on the website.

If you refuse or withdraw consent to the use of any non-essential-cookies or associated personal data, then the corresponding functionality or features of this website may not work properly, or at all.  Your use of the core functions and features of this website will not be affected.

If you disable essential cookies (or all cookies) using your web browser settings, one or more core functions and features of this website, including those intended to ensure your visit is safe and secure, will not work properly, or at all.

If you use more than one web browser on a device, you must change the settings separately for each browser and each device.
