Cookies & Tracking Tools

Our website uses cookies to distinguish you from other users of our website. This helps us to provide you with a good experience when you browse our website and also allows us to improve our site.

A cookie is a file containing an identifier (a string of letters and numbers) that is sent by a web server to a web browser and stored by the web browser. The identifier is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server. This enables the webserver to identify and track the web browser. Most browsers allow you to reject all cookies, whilst some browsers allow you to reject just third party cookies. Blocking all cookies will, however, have a negative impact upon the usability of many websites, including this ours.

We use Google Analytics to analyse the activity of this website. Google Analytics generates statistical and other information by means of cookies, which are stored on users’ computers. The information generated relating to our website is used to create reports about the use of the website. Google will store this information. Google’s privacy policy is available at: www.google.com/privacypolicy.html.


Where we store your personal data
