Cookie policy

Our cookie policy page outlines what cookies this website uses and gives you guidance on how to manage your cookie settings. By browsing the website, we assume you are giving your consent to receive all cookies on our site. Please read below for more information.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites use to enhance a website’s functionality as well as to gather information about a user’s movements around the site. Recent changes to the European Union’s privacy and electronic communications directive state that unless they are essential to the operation of the site, websites must now ask users to give their consent for cookies to be stored on their computers. If a website user consents to enable cookies on a website, then these small text files are placed on the user’s computer hard drive.

The information these cookies contain can then be used by the website server whenever the user visits the site. Essentially, cookies allow a website to remember their users, which makes the interaction between user and website faster and easier. Not allowing cookies might impact on how efficiently a user can browse the website.
