Cookie Policy
What are cookies?
A ‘cookie’ is technically a very short piece of computer code that can be loaded (or ‘set’) onto your device when you access or do something on a web page. Once set, it can be accessed by that website, and potentially some other computers from time to time. It’s not harmful to your device like a virus or other malicious code.
Cookies have a lifetime. Many only last until you close your browser or for a short time. These are called ‘session cookies’. Some last longer though, these are called ‘persistent cookies’.
Cookies set directly by a website owner (like us) are generally known as ‘first party cookies’. Many (if not most) websites also use bits of hidden technology provided by other parties. These other parties may also set cookies when you use our website. These cookies are generally known as ‘third party cookies’.
If you want to know more, we suggest you visit this site. Please note that we are not responsible for other party’s sites.

The main way to manage all cookies and similar technologies that are set on your device is through adjusting your web browser settings. In practice, this process will result in some or all of them being blocked. You’ll need to consult your browser’s user guide to see how you can use it to restrict or block cookies and similar technologies. Some browsers are more sophisticated than others in managing these technologies, so if you want greater controls, it would be worth comparing a few of them.
What will happen if you choose to restrict or block cookies?
Because of the cookies we use on this website if you choose not to accept cookies your experience of our website will not be affected, it just means we, or the relevant third party, won’t get the information about how you use our website.
We review our use of cookies and similar technologies regularly (see the ‘How do we use cookies?’ section for full details).In doing so, we may change the cookies and other technologies we use and how we use them. As a result, we will need to change this policy from time to time to keep it accurate and up to date. If we change this policy, we will tell you when you next visit our website, and give you a link to our revised policy. That way you can check to see if you are happy with our new policy and adjust your browser settings if you want to before proceeding any further. Please look out for these notices in future when you are using our website.
