Cookies
Our website uses cookies as part of a normal business procedure to track patterns of behaviour of visitors to our site. A cookie is a piece of information that is stored on your computer’s hard drive. It is normally sent by a web server to you and enables the server to collect information back from your site visit. 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. We use traffic log cookies, such as Google Analytics, to identify which pages are being used. This helps us analyse data about web page traffic and improve our website in order to tailor it to customer needs. For example, if visitors do not spend much time on a webpage, we may add more information so that it is more useful to the reader. We only use this information for statistical analysis purposes and then the data is removed from the system. Cookies help us provide you with a better website, by enabling us to monitor which pages you find useful and which you do not. A cookie in no way gives us access to your computer or information about you, other than the data you choose to share with us. You can choose to accept or decline cookies. To have an optimal web experience, most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer.
