In common with other commercial websites, our Site utilises a standard technology called “cookies”. A cookie is a very small text document which often includes an anonymous unique identifier. When you visit a website, that site’s computer asks your computer for permission to store this file in a part of your hard drive specifically designated for cookies.
Each website can send its own cookie to your browser if your browser’s preferences allow it, but, in order to protect your privacy, your browser only permits a website to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by other sites. You may refuse to accept cookies by activating the setting on your browser which allows you to refuse the setting of cookies. However, if you select this setting you may be unable to access certain parts of our Site. Unless you have adjusted your browser setting so that it will refuse cookies, our system will issue cookies when you log on to our Site.

As you browse our Site, the Site uses its cookies to differentiate you from other users to prevent you from seeing unnecessary information or requiring you to re-enter information more often than is necessary.
The main cookies used are created from Google Analytics, these track your IP address to allow us to find out information such as the age range of our users, location, page views, traffic source, operating system, browser type and device usage. All of this information is used to then improve the site by making updates, for example perhaps promoting less viewed web pages, extend our reach to different geographical locations or update our mobile view if more and more people are using mobile devices.
Our site also contains ASP cookies that remember certain elements of the pages that a user has already been on, therefore when revisiting the page it loads much quicker. These cookies hold no personal information but help improve the websites performance.
