How we use cookies

A cook­ie is a small file which asks per­mis­sion to be placed on your com­put­er’s hard dri­ve. Once you agree, the file is added and the cook­ie helps analyze web traf­fic or lets you know when you vis­it a par­tic­u­lar site. 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 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. We only use this infor­ma­tion for sta­tis­ti­cal analy­sis pur­pos­es and then the data is removed from the system.

Over­all, 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 any infor­ma­tion about you, oth­er than the data you choose to share with us.

You can choose to accept or decline cook­ies. Most web browsers auto­mat­i­cal­ly accept cook­ies, but you can usu­al­ly mod­i­fy your brows­er set­ting to decline cook­ies if you pre­fer. This may pre­vent you from tak­ing full advan­tage of the website.

Links to other websites

Our web­site may con­tain links to oth­er web­sites of inter­est. How­ev­er, once you have used these links to leave our site, you should note that we do not have any con­trol over oth­er web­sites. There­fore, we can­not be respon­si­ble for the pro­tec­tion and pri­va­cy of any infor­ma­tion which you pro­vide whilst vis­it­ing such sites and such sites are not gov­erned by this pri­va­cy state­ment. You should exer­cise cau­tion and look at the pri­va­cy state­ment applic­a­ble to the web­site in question.
