What are Cookies?
Cookies are small files of letters and numbers. These files are stored on the hard drive of the device you are using, be it a PC, mobile phone, or tablet. These letters and numbers are used to allow a website to remember certain bits of information, so that the user experience can be improved next time you visit. By using our website you agree that we may store and access cookies on your device.How we use Cookies
When you visit our website it is likely we will create cookies which are stored on your device. For the duration of your ‘session’ on our website these cookies help us to deliver the correct information, thereby improving your browsing experience.
We also use webanalytics to understand how many people have visited our website, what they have looked at and how they found us etc. This gives us a better understanding of how our website is working. All data accrued cannot be used to identify personal information and merely gives us a general idea of how our website performs.
This overview of the type of cookies we use is based on categories outlined by the international Chamber of Commerce, in the ICC UK Cookie Guide. Some cookies may appear in multiple categories:
Category 1: strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website to function. By disabling these cookies, some aspects of a website will either not work, or not work properly, such as secure logins or location services.
Category 2: performance cookies
These cookies gather information to help improve the day to day performance of a website. By analysing data collected we can enhance popular pages, fix bugs and error messages etc. All data is based on totals and averages and is strictly anonymous. For example we use Google Analytics, which creates several first-party cookies. The data that Google collects is kept strictly private and confidential and won’t be shared with anyone else. We don’t feel that Google Analytics is a breach of privacy as we are merely aggregating the data survey. The information that is collected is used to understand website trends and performance.
Category 3: functionality cookies
These are cookies which provide a ‘memory’ for the website, this enables the website to remember any personal choices you make (for example, your geographic location). These cookies are also used to remember changes you may make to text sizes, fonts and other customisable elements of the website. The information these cookies collect may be made anonymous and can’t track activity on other websites. We may from time to time provide information of a general nature to third parties – for example, the number of individuals visiting our website, but we will not use any information that could identify those individuals.
