Cookie Policy

What is a cookie?

A cookie is a way that web servers communicate with web browsers, allowing web servers to collect information from web browsers.

Most websites use cookies to improve the user experience; for example, cookies will ‘remember’ you, which will help on future visits, and they let you navigate between pages (without the need to login each time), and they store preferences. Cookies can also use your location and browsing habits to help us to offer a more targeted response to you. By doing these things, cookies help to make the website faster and easier to use.

There are two types of Cookies; “persistent” and “session”. “Persistent” cookies will be stored by a web browser and will remain valid until either its set expiry date, or until the user deletes it. “Session” cookies expire at the end of the user’s session when the web browser is closed. We use both persistent & session cookies on this website.
