Cookies and our Website
In May 2012, a new law came into force across Europe requiring websites to obtain consent before storing cookies on visitors' computers or mobile devices.
Cookies are small files managed by your internet browser that store information about your visit to our site.
We are committed to ensuring that our use of cookies is completely transparent. Our website will display a message each time you visit if you have not given us consent to store cookies on your computer. Although we have made great efforts to ensure that the wesbite will function without any cookies, not allowing them to be stored may mean that parts of the website do not function correctly.
Some of the cookies we use are to help us monitor how you and other visitors use the website. Often termed analytic cookies, these are used to make our site more effective, and are created by Google's Analytics system. None of the information used by Google can identify you as an individual.
As the current advice given by the Information Commissioner indicates that analytical cookies are exempt from the legislation, we allow these by default.
You have already given us consent to store cookies on your computer. Consent can be cleared using the tools built into your browser.
