Cookies Policy
We use cookies on this website to enhance your user experience when using the site and to improve performance of the site overall. This policy explains how we do that.
A cookie is a small amount of data, which often includes an anonymous unique identifier that is sent to your internet browser from a website’s computer and stored on your computer or mobile device. Each website can send its own cookie to your internet browser if your internet browser’s preferences allow it, but (to protect your privacy) your internet browser only permits a website to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by other websites.
Cookies will help the website to recognise your device the next time you visit. For example, they allow us to analyse how well our website is performing, or even allow us to recommend content we believe will be most relevant to you.
Most cookies won’t collect information that identifies you, and will instead collect more general information such as how users arrive at and use our website.
Performance Cookies
We utilise cookies to analyse how our visitors use our website and to monitor website performance. This allows us to provide a high quality experience by customising our website to your needs. For example, we might use performance cookies to keep track of which pages are most popular, which method of linking between pages is most effective, and to determine why some pages are receiving error messages. We might also use these cookies to highlight other website services that we think will be of interest to you based on your usage of this website.
Behaviourally Targeted Advertising Cookies
We do not allow third-party advertisements to be displayed on our website so no advertising cookies are used anywhere on the website.
Third Party Cookies
We also use or allow third parties to serve cookies that fall into the categories above. For example, like many companies, we use Google Analytics to help us monitor website traffic. We may also use third party cookies to help us with market research, revenue tracking, improving site functionality and monitoring compliance with our terms and conditions and privacy policy.
Social sharing, and other services we may offer from time to time, are run by other companies. These companies may drop cookies on your computer when you use them on this site or if you are already logged in to them.
Our blog uses plugins that may store information on your device to improve your user experience.
